If Sai Baba is one with Brahman and fills the entire world, what is the significance of Shirdi after his passing?

While chapter 43 confirms that Maharaj has 'become one with Brahman' and in his true form 'fills the moving and non-moving world,' it also reinforces the special significance of Shirdi. The text notes that he appeared in Shirdi for the devotees' protection and, having completed his task, 'left his body within Shirdi.' This act consecrates the location. The scripture asserts that even today, a devotee will have an experience that matches the feeling in their mind when they think of him, and this influence is proven. Thus, Shirdi remains a focal point where his presence is particularly potent and accessible, even as he is universally omnipresent.
