Can you explain Baba's famous "sparrow" analogy and how Chapter 28 uses it to introduce the story of Laxmichand?

In Chapter 28, the author shares a saying that Baba repeated many times: "My person may be in distant lands, may be thousands of miles away, I will bring him like a sparrow's chick, binding a string to his feet." This powerful analogy illustrates Baba's divine play in drawing his chosen devotees to him, regardless of distance. The chapter then introduces Laxmichand, a clerk for the Ralli Brothers in Mumbai, as a prime example of this phenomenon. He is described as one of the many "pious chicks" from various lands who were brought to Shirdi by Baba's will.
