If Sai Baba has become 'one with Brahman', what does that mean for devotees who visit Shirdi today? Is he still present there?

While the text confirms that Maharaj has become one with Brahman, it strongly cautions devotees against doubting his continued presence, particularly in Shirdi. Chapter 43 advises that the thought 'What is there in Shirdi now?' should not enter the mind, as Shri Sai is beyond death. Even after merging into the unmanifest, he continues to enjoy his true self and keeps his devotees spiritually 'awake.' His influence is proven, and the experience a devotee has is based on the feeling in their own mind. He is the protector of his devotees' cause, and in his true form, this powerful one of miraculous avatars fills the entire world, meaning his presence is not limited but is certainly not absent from Shirdi.
