Even though Baba left his mortal form, Chapter 43 assures us that his presence is unbroken. After merging into the unmanifest, he stayed in the hearts of the devotees. The text states he fills the moving and non-moving world in his true form. His influence is proven by the fact that devotees can still have experiences of him based on the feeling in their own minds. Chapter 43 draws a parallel to other great saints like Gyaneshwar Maharaj and Tukaram Maharaj, whose spiritual presence continues to guide people long after their physical departure. Baba is described as this same eternal presence in Shirdi, always keeping his devotees awake.
If Sai Baba left his physical body in Shirdi, how does his presence and influence continue today?
