When they returned home to offer thanks, they found the portrait in the sandalwood Mandir hanging at an angle.<\/p>\n<p>Later that same day, a messenger arrived with news that Baba had taken Mahanirvana in Shirdi. The family connected the sudden recovery and the displaced portrait with Baba\u2019s way of communicating across the distance between Shirdi and Mumbai.<\/p>\n<p>The chapter understands this not as an end to Baba\u2019s presence, but as a sign of the promise that He would remain available to devotees after leaving the physical body.<\/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.
