Explain Sai Baba's 'sparrow' analogy and how it applies to the story of Laxmichand.

Chapter 28 recounts Sai Baba's famous saying, "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 illustrates his power to draw devotees to him regardless of distance. The story of Laxmichand is presented as a perfect example of this divine play. Laxmichand, a clerk in Mumbai, had no prior connection to Baba. Yet, Baba pulled him first through a dream and then by arranging for him to see a picture that matched the dream's vision. This created an irresistible longing in Laxmichand, effectively demonstrating how Baba metaphorically ties a string to his 'chicks' and pulls them to Shirdi.
