The text says Sai Baba appeared for the sake of his devotees. How does it describe his continuing presence after he left Shirdi?

Chapter 43 beautifully illustrates that Sai Baba's presence is eternal and unbroken. He appeared in Shirdi, gathered by the past merits of his devotees, to protect them. Once that specific task was over, he left his body, but this was not an end. The text states he 'merged himself into the unmanifest' and now 'stayed in the hearts of the devotees.' He is described as beginningless and endless, a powerful being of miraculous avatars who fills the entire moving and non-moving world. Just as other great saints remain spiritually present in places like Alandi and Dehu, Sai remains present in Shirdi and everywhere else, having become one with Brahman. The text assures us that whatever the feeling in a devotee's mind, they can still experience his influence today.
