How does Sai Baba bring his devotees to him, even from distant places?

Chapter 28 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains Sai Baba's divine play in drawing devotees to him, regardless of distance. Baba himself often said, "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 chapter illustrates this by introducing the story of Laxmichand, a clerk in Mumbai, who is described as one of these "pious chicks" that Baba brought to Shirdi from afar. This demonstrates Baba's power to connect with and pull his followers to him when the time is right.
