Chapter 28 quotes Baba as saying he would bring his devotees to him "like a sparrow's chick, binding a string to his feet." How does the chapter explain the spiritual mechanism behind this phenomenon?

Chapter 28 explains the spiritual principle behind Baba's promise to draw his devotees to him, regardless of distance. The text suggests this is not a random act but a result of spiritual readiness. It states that when the "accumulated karma of many births rises up," only then is the company of saints attained. This attainment leads to the destruction of delusion born of ignorance, the ignition of the fire of discrimination, and detachment from worldly enjoyments. Ultimately, as detailed in the chapter, this process, exemplified by devotees like Laxmichand being drawn to Shirdi, leads to the destruction of accumulated karma and makes one's life successful.
