How does Chapter 26 describe the importance of Shirdi?

Chapter 26 describes the town of Shirdi as being incredibly fortunate because Sai Baba chose to arrive and reside there. According to the text, it was the "fortune of Shirdi" that Baba came, and by His presence, He transformed the location into a holy pilgrimage site, or Kshetra. The author states that the merit of Shirdi is blessed because the merciful Sai adorns the place and makes it fortunate. This section of the chapter is a praise-filled acknowledgment of how Baba's presence elevated the town to a sacred status.
