Based on Chapter 39, how did Sai Baba's presence transform the village of Shirdi?

Chapter 39 of the Sai Satcharitra emphasizes the profound transformation of Shirdi due to Sai Baba's presence. It begins by stating that the once-small village "became great through the company of Sai." The text explicitly notes that because of him, Shirdi became "exceedingly holy" and "attained the status of a place of pilgrimage." This holiness extended to its people, who are described as blessed. The chapter paints a picture of a place elevated from obscurity to a sacred destination, with even the Dwarkamai building being blessed because Sai moved there until his last breath. The entire identity and spiritual significance of the village are attributed to him.
