How does Sai Baba inspire people to come to him and follow the spiritual path? Is it their own decision?

According to the sacred text, the process is guided by Sai Baba himself. Chapter 35 explains that people do not simply decide to visit Shirdi on their own accord; rather, 'It is Baba himself who gives them the inspiration; only then do they step out.' The text further elaborates that Baba works by 'stimulating their natural disposition, he leads them toward the spiritual path.' This suggests a divine orchestration where Baba subtly influences individuals, awakening their innate spiritual tendencies and drawing them to him. The narrative cautions against trying to fully comprehend his methods, stating, 'Who knows his ways? To try and know them would lead to misfortune.' The recommended approach, as mentioned in Chapter 35, is to become egoless and surrender at his feet to experience true happiness.
