Is Sai Baba still present for his devotees even after his physical body is gone?

Yes, the text emphasizes that Sai is beyond the concepts of birth and death and remains ever-present for his followers. Chapter 33 uses the analogy of fire hidden within wood, which is not visible but is contained within and can be manifested through friction. Similarly, Sai is always there for his devotees and responds to their calls, especially those made with exclusive, undivided love. The scripture poignantly asks, "Being in a body means being alive; being in Samadhi means what - dead? Sai is beyond birth and death; ever present steadfastly."
