How does Chapter 39 depict the transformation of the village of Shirdi due to Sai Baba's presence?

Chapter 39 vividly illustrates the profound transformation of Shirdi from a small, ordinary village into a revered spiritual center. The text explicitly states, "The village of Shirdi was small at first; it became great through the company of Sai." Because of Sai's presence, the village became "exceedingly holy" and "attained the status of a place of pilgrimage." The chapter opens by blessing the place, the Dwarkamai, and the people, signifying that the entire area was sanctified. This transformation is also reflected in the devotion of its residents, particularly the women, who are described as singing about the "extraordinary Sai" during their daily work, indicating a complete spiritual and cultural shift within the community thanks to Sai's grace.
