How does Sai Baba attract people to the spiritual path and build his following?

The texts suggest that Sai Baba himself is the primary force in drawing people to the spiritual path. As described in Chapter 35, Baba accomplishes his work by giving people the inspiration to seek him out, stimulating their natural disposition and leading them towards spirituality. The narrative of Boss Dharamsee illustrates this process perfectly. Dharamsee initially arrived with a 'clinical scrutiny,' but through a personal experience where Baba turned seeded grapes into seedless ones, his ego dropped away and was replaced by love for the saint and a firm determination to return to Shirdi. This shows how Baba works on individuals to foster devotion.
