Based on the provided text, how does the story of Lalaji's first darshan illustrate Baba's 'extraordinary divine play' in attracting devotees?

πŸ“– Chapter 28

The story of Lalaji, or Laxmichand, is a prime example of what Chapter 28 calls Baba's 'extraordinary divine play' in attracting his devotees. The process began subtly, with an unsolicited dream of a great sadhu planted in Lalaji's mind. This initial seed of devotion was then nurtured at Dasganu's kirtan, where the dream vision was confirmed by a physical picture of Baba, creating an intense longing. Just when practical obstacles like finances and travel arrangements seemed daunting, the divine play culminated in a friend, Shankarrao, appearing at his door with an out-of-the-blue invitation to Shirdi. This sequence shows how Baba orchestrates events to draw his followers to him.
