What does the story of Kashiram and the thieves reveal about Sai Baba's omniscience and his method of protecting devotees?

The harrowing incident with Kashiram and the robbers provides a profound insight into Sai Baba's protective nature. As Chapter 0 recounts, while Kashiram was fighting for his life against numerous armed thieves, Maharaj (Sai Baba) was simultaneously creating a scene in Shirdi. He was shouting, swearing, and showing great agitation. The devotees present in Shirdi immediately understood that this behavior was not random; it was a sign that Baba was actively protecting a dear devotee who was in grave danger. The text explicitly states that it was impossible for Kashiram to escape alive on his own, crediting his survival to the 'Savior.' This demonstrates Baba's ability to be aware of events happening at a distance and to intervene spiritually to protect his followers, as detailed in Chapter 0.
