How does Sai Baba inspire people to join his spiritual community in Shirdi?

According to the sacred texts, it is Sai Baba himself who orchestrates the arrival of his devotees. Chapter 35 explains that Baba accomplishes his work by providing the inspiration for people to step onto the spiritual path. He stimulates their natural disposition and guides them toward him. It is not by their own will alone that they come, but because Baba has personally inspired them to make the journey. The text suggests that the best way to approach him and enjoy the 'festival of happiness' is by becoming egoless and surrendering at his feet, rather than trying to intellectually understand his mysterious ways.
