How does Chapter 28 use the story of Laxmichand to illustrate Sai Baba's power to draw devotees to him?

Chapter 28 introduces Laxmichand's story to exemplify a famous saying of Sai Baba: "My person may be in distant lands... I will bring him like a sparrow's chick, binding a string to his feet." Laxmichand, a trustworthy clerk working in Mumbai, is described as one such "pious chick" who belonged to Baba. His eventual meeting with Sai is presented not as a coincidence but as a result of Baba's divine will and the culmination of good karma from many past births, which inevitably leads a soul to the company of saints.
