Chapter 28 mentions Baba drawing his devotees to him "like a sparrow's chick, binding a string to his feet." Can you explain this concept and how it relates to the story of Laxmichand?

This powerful metaphor, quoted in Chapter 28, illustrates Sai Baba's divine will and ability to bring His chosen devotees to Him, regardless of their physical location or circumstances. Just as one can pull a bird by a string tied to its foot, Baba asserted that He would draw His people from thousands of miles away. The chapter then introduces Laxmichand, a clerk who worked for Ralli Brothers, as a prime example of this phenomenon. He is described as one of Baba's "pious chicks" who was drawn to Shirdi from afar. This narrative from Chapter 28 reinforces the idea that meeting a saint is not a matter of chance but a result of accumulated merit from past lives and the Guru's own divine play.
