Chapter 28 introduces a powerful statement from Sai Baba: "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 metaphor illustrates Baba's divine power to draw his chosen devotees to him, regardless of physical distance or circumstance. The chapter presents Laxmichand, a trustworthy clerk working in Mumbai, as a prime example of one of these "pious chicks" who belonged to Baba. His journey to Shirdi is framed not as a coincidence, but as the result of Baba's will and the fruition of good karma from many past births, which ultimately leads to attaining the company of a saint.
Chapter 28 mentions Baba bringing his devotees to him "like a sparrow's chick." Can you explain this concept and how it relates to the story of Laxmichand?
