Since Baba has left his physical body, how can his devotees still feel his presence and connect with him?

Even though Sai Baba left his body, his presence remains accessible to all. Chapter 43 assures devotees that he 'merged himself into the unmanifest' but also 'stayed in the hearts of the devotees.' His connection is not limited by physical form. The text states that by 'merely remembering his name, no news of birth or death remains.' Furthermore, he continues to be active, and devotees can receive an experience 'even today' that corresponds to the 'feeling in one's mind.' He is described as being filled with consciousness, firmly imprinted in the hearts of his followers, and always keeping them spiritually awake.
