Chapter 28 introduces a devotee named Laxmichand, who worked as a trustworthy munshi, or clerk, for the Greek merchants Ralli Brothers in Mumbai. His story serves as a prime example of Baba's divine play. The chapter recalls Baba's famous words, 'I will bring him like a sparrow's chick, binding a string to his feet,' and identifies Laxmichand as one such 'pious chick' brought to Shirdi from afar. This narrative, as presented in Chapter 28, illustrates the teaching that when the karma of many past births comes to fruition, one is naturally drawn into the company of saints, just as Laxmichand was drawn to Sai Baba.
Can you tell me about the devotee Laxmichand and how his story illustrates Baba's divine play?
