On one occasion Nanavali asked to sit on Baba\u2019s seat; Baba rose and allowed him to do so, revealing the affection between them.<\/p>\n<p>The chapter also recounts further moments of Baba\u2019s knowledge, protection, and healing, including a visit to the family in Mumbai during an illness. These memories are presented as signs that Baba\u2019s care was not limited by distance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-note\"><strong>Editorial note:<\/strong> This page is a concise paraphrase for web presentation and does not reproduce the complete chapter.
