A few years have passed since Sai Baba left Shirdi. Bhaija is sure that Sai will return to the village one day. Meanwhile, Sai Baba is met by a man, who is looking for his horse. Seeing that the man is thirsty, Sai Baba taps on a boulder and water gushes out of it. The man quenches his thirst and then his horse comes rushing towards him and he is glad after being reunited with his horse. Later, the man informs Sai Baba that he is leaving for Shirdi and Sai Baba decides to accompany him.
It is the dawn of India's Independence movement. A British officer pays a visit to Vaidya Kulkarni and warns him about the movement that is gaining strength with each passing day. He informs Vaidya that no one in the village should assemble in groups. He assigns the task of keeping a check on this to Vaidya and leaves. Vaidya visits Sai Baba but before he can utter ill words, Sai Baba has decided to leave the village.
The young man's presence is met with hostility by Vaidya Kulkarni. When Sai Baba preaches that all gods are one, Vaidya pokes fun at him and makes it clear that he should leave Shirdi.
The small town of Shirdi is visited by a man clad in simple attire. His arrival catches the attention of the inhabitants of Shirdi. The young man starts meditating under a tree.
