What was happening in Shirdi while Kashiram was fighting for his life against robbers?

While Kashiram was being attacked by thieves, a parallel event was unfolding in Shirdi that demonstrated Maharaj's omnipresent protection. Chapter 0 describes how Maharaj suddenly started creating a scene, exhibiting great agitation by shouting and swearing. Those who were present with Maharaj in Shirdi immediately understood the significance of his actions. They recognized that a beloved devotee must be in grave danger and that Maharaj's behavior was a manifestation of his spiritual intervention to save them. This divine display confirmed that even though Kashiram was physically alone against many armed men, Maharaj was spiritually present, acting as his savior.
