Based on the beginning of Chapter 29, how did Sai Baba's reputation for charity draw people to Shirdi?

The start of Chapter 29 illustrates that Sai Baba's fame as a generous, patient, and self-controlled saint spread widely, creating a strong desire in people for his darshan. His reputation was particularly built on his daily practice of distributing money abundantly. The text mentions that crowds came, including performers, singers, and devotees. Specifically, it notes a group of devotees from Madras came, and that Baba was compassionate to pilgrims and would inquire about the poor and destitute. His steadfast charity and righteousness, heard from ear to ear, were the primary pull for people to journey to see him.
