What was the extent of Sai Baba's influence, and what is the importance of his Samadhi today?

While Shirdi is described as the center of his work, Chapter 4 makes it clear that Baba's field of influence was vast, spreading from village to village and reaching regions like Punjab, Calcutta, Gujarat, and Deccan. His greatness was widely known. After his physical passing, his tomb, the Samadhi in Shirdi, became the focal point of devotion. The text describes the Samadhi as a gathering place of all saints and a potent spiritual site where "the knots of the soul are cut at every step." The author goes so far as to say that seeing the Samadhi constitutes the "true fulfillment of being born," highlighting its immense and ongoing importance.
