I'm worried that Sai Baba is no longer in Shirdi since he left his body. What does the scripture say to reassure devotees about this?

Chapter 43 directly addresses this very concern and urges devotees not to harbor such doubts. The text explicitly states, "Let such a doubt not come to the mind; Shri Sai is beyond death." It clarifies that thinking Baba was confined only to his physical body is improper. After his task was over, he merged with his true form, which is Brahman itself. As the chapter explains, in this true form, he "fills the moving and non-moving world." The text offers powerful reassurance by stating that a devotee's experience of Baba is based on their own feeling and faith, and that his influence is still proven and accessible today, proving his presence extends far beyond the physical boundaries of Shirdi.
