Besides Baba's return, what else does the beginning of Chapter 5 say about the spiritual significance of Shirdi at that time?

The prologue of Chapter 5 provides important context, suggesting Shirdi was already a spiritually charged place before Sai Baba's famous return. The chapter mentions that Baba, referred to as a 'gem', was 'found' in Shirdi within a Muslim wedding party after being hidden for some time. However, the text explicitly states that other saints were already present there. It notes that a holy man named Devidas had already made Shirdi his home, and later another saint, Janakidas Gosavi, also came to live in the village. This detail from Chapter 5 indicates that Shirdi was a place that attracted holy figures even before it became widely known as Baba's abode.
