Chapter 28 quotes Baba as saying he brings his devotees to him like a 'sparrow's chick.' How does the text connect this idea to a devotee's karma and the role of a saint?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 28

Chapter 28 elaborates on Sai Baba's divine power to draw his followers to him, using his own words: "I will bring him like a sparrow's chick, binding a string to his feet," even from thousands of miles away. The chapter explains that this is not a random act but is deeply connected to a person's spiritual readiness. It states that when the accumulated karma of many past births finally rises, it results in the devotee attaining the company of saints. This sacred company ignites the fire of discrimination, detaches one from worldly enjoyments, and ultimately destroys the accumulated karma, making one's life successful. The story of Laxmichand is introduced as a primary example of one such 'pious chick' brought to Shirdi by Baba's divine play.
