How does Sai Baba attract people to the spiritual path? Does he compel them or use a different method?

According to the teachings in Chapter 35, Sai Baba does not force anyone onto the spiritual path. Instead, he accomplishes his work by providing individuals with the inspiration to seek him out. The text explains that Baba stimulates a person's natural disposition, gently guiding them toward a spiritual life. His ways are described as mysterious, and trying to analyze them is discouraged. The suggested path for a devotee is to become egoless and surrender at his feet, which is said to lead to a 'festival of happiness.' It is Baba himself who initiates this process by giving people the inspiration to take the first step.
