What was Maharaj's reaction in Shirdi while Kashiram was being attacked, and what does it signify?

While Kashiram was fighting for his life against the thieves, Maharaj, who was in Shirdi, began displaying unusual and agitated behavior. As described in Chapter 0, he was shouting, swearing, and showing other signs of agitation. The people around him, familiar with his ways, immediately understood that one of his dear devotees was in grave danger. They recognized that Maharaj's agitation was his way of spiritually intervening to protect that devotee. This incident demonstrates Maharaj's omniscience and his protective power over his followers. Chapter 0 notes that it was impossible for Kashiram to escape alive on his own, but Maharaj acted as the "Savior" against the "killer."
