Chapter 28 introduces the story of Laxmichand, a munshi working in Mumbai, to illustrate how devotees were drawn to Shirdi. The chapter explains this phenomenon using Sai Baba's own words: "I will bring him like a sparrow's chick, binding a string to his feet," no matter how far away the person may be. Laxmichand is presented as one of these "pious chicks" who belonged to Baba. According to the teachings in this chapter, such a meeting is not accidental but occurs when the accumulated karma of many births rises up. Attaining the company of saints like Sai then ignites discrimination, fosters detachment, and destroys karma, making one's life successful.
Explain the concept of being drawn to Sai Baba as illustrated by the story of Laxmichand in Chapter 28.
