How did Sai Baba draw devotees to him during the Chavadi bhajans?

Chapter 37 uses a powerful metaphor to explain how Sai Baba attracted his followers during the Chavadi events. He is described as a 'powerful magnet' who, through the 'attraction of His own power,' would pull the 'iron-like devotees' towards him. This imagery suggests that the devotees were drawn to His feet almost unknowingly, compelled by his immense spiritual presence. The gathering for bhajan, with men and women coming quickly to the assembly hall, illustrates this magnetic pull, showing how he was the central figure around whom all the devotional activities and the devotees themselves revolved.
