According to the text, Sai Baba's residence was permanently in Shirdi. While he would occasionally visit the nearby villages of Rahata, Rui, or Nimgon, he never traveled beyond them. This created a dilemma for Dev, who lived in Dahanu, a place far from Baba's usual circuit. As Chapter 40 explains, although Dev had full faith that Baba's infallible words meant He would come, he also knew it was highly uncharacteristic for Baba to travel so far. This left Dev to reconcile his faith in Baba's promise with the reality of Baba's established physical habits, banking on Baba's miraculous nature to bridge the distance.
What were Sai Baba's typical travel habits, and how did this create a dilemma for Dev in Dahanu?
