How does Chapter 28 illustrate Sai Baba's power to draw his followers to him, regardless of physical distance?

Chapter 28 beautifully illustrates Sai Baba's magnetic pull on his devotees through a powerful metaphor. The chapter quotes Baba's own words: "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." The text then introduces the story of Laxmichand, a clerk from Mumbai, as a prime example of this divine play. He is described as one of the many "pious chicks" from various lands who were drawn to Shirdi. This narrative in Chapter 28 serves to provide a concrete experience of Baba's oft-repeated assurance.
