I've heard Baba still helps people even though he's no longer physically present. What do the scriptures say about how he continues to interact with devotees?

According to Chapter 43, Sai Baba's presence and ability to help devotees did not end with his physical departure. The text states that he merged into the unmanifest but "stayed in the hearts of the devotees" and "always keeps the devotees awake." His influence is proven by the fact that devotees can still experience his presence based on their own feelings and devotion. The scripture draws parallels to other great saints like Gyaneshwar Maharaj, who gave darshan centuries after his samadhi. Just as those saints remain powerful forces, Sai remains the same presence in Shirdi, filling the entire world in his true form to protect his devotees.
