The book says the events in Shirdi can't be seen now, but then suggests they can be. How does Chapter 20 explain this apparent contradiction?

Chapter 20 addresses this by explaining the power of meditation. It acknowledges that the past celebrations and interactions with Baba in Shirdi cannot be physically seen today. However, the text immediately clarifies that through the "power of firm meditation," these past events can become visible to the devotee. The chapter encourages this practice by saying, "So, by meditating like this, beholding him from his toe to his face, prostrating with love, let us continue the connection of the story." It suggests that a focused, loving meditation on Sai can bridge the gap of time and allow one to experience those sacred moments.
