What is the story of Bhagwantrao Kshirsagar, and what does it reveal about Sai Baba's omniscience and compassion?

The story of Bhagwantrao Kshirsagar, found in Chapter 4, is a touching example of Sai Baba's all-knowing nature and concern for his devotees' spiritual well-being. Bhagwantrao's father was a friend of Baba and a devout worshipper of Vitthal. After his father's death, Bhagwantrao neglected the family traditions, ceasing the daily worship, food offerings, and even the annual Shraddha ceremony. When Bhagwantrao came to Shirdi, Baba revealed his knowledge of this neglect, stating, "He never offers food (Naivedya); he keeps me hungry too. He keeps Vitthal hungry too." Baba explained that he had deliberately "pulled" Bhagwantrao to Shirdi to remind him of his duties and guide him back to the path of worship, demonstrating his compassionate intervention to ensure spiritual continuity.
