Tell me the story of Kashiram's encounter with the thieves and how Sai Baba was involved.

The texts describe a harrowing event where a devotee named Kashiram was attacked by thieves. As Chapter 0 recounts, while he was fighting for his life, Sai Maharaj, who was in Shirdi, became extremely agitated, shouting and swearing. The people nearby understood this behavior as a sign that a dear devotee was in great danger and that Maharaj's actions were meant to protect them. Indeed, Kashiram was outnumbered and armed, but he survived the attack. After being struck and left for dead, he regained consciousness and insisted on being taken to Shirdi, where he was treated by Madhavrao Deshpande on Maharaj's instructions and recovered by his grace.
