How did Sai Baba draw his devotees to Shirdi, based on the stories in the Satcharitra?

Sai Baba had extraordinary and mysterious ways of drawing devotees to him, which the text likens to binding a chick and bringing it to Shirdi. Chapter 28 provides a perfect example with the story of a devout lady from Berhampur. She had never seen Baba directly, yet he appeared to her in a vivid dream, asking for khichdi. This powerful vision, described as Sai's extraordinary 'maya', sparked an intense longing for his darshan in both her and her husband. This divine intervention compelled them to journey to Shirdi, illustrating how Baba could plant the seed of devotion from afar to ensure his followers would find their way to him.
