How does Sai Baba explain his control over who visits Shirdi, and what does this imply about destiny?

According to the teachings in Chapter 35, Sai Baba indicates that the arrival and departure of devotees are not matters of their own will but are governed by his grace. He is quoted as saying, "No one comes unless I bring them," and "Without my wish, who will leave the doorstep?". This implies that a person's pilgrimage to Shirdi is a direct result of Baba's mercy being stirred. Chapter 35 explains that when mercy arises in his heart, only then do people come for Darshan. This perspective frames the journey not as a personal choice but as a destiny fulfilled through divine will, emphasizing that all movement is ultimately under his compassionate control.
