Chapter 28 introduces a devotee named Laxmichand. What do we learn about him and how does his story illustrate Baba's power?

Chapter 28 introduces Laxmichand as a trustworthy munshi (clerk) for the Ralli Brothers, who were Greek merchants. He had previously worked in the railways and at a printing press. His story is used to exemplify Baba's famous words: "My person may be in distant lands... I will bring him like a sparrow's chick, binding a string to his feet." The chapter describes Laxmichand as one such "pious chick" drawn to Shirdi. This narrative serves to illustrate the principle that when the accumulated karma of many births comes to fruition, one is naturally led into the company of saints.
