How does the story of Laxmichand illustrate Sai Baba's method of attracting his devotees?

Chapter 28 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains Sai Baba's method of drawing devotees through the story of Laxmichand. The text references Baba's own words, promising to bring his followers to him from thousands of miles away, "like a sparrow's chick, binding a string to his feet." Laxmichand's journey is a prime example of this divine play. It began not with a conscious decision, but with an unsolicited dream of a great sadhu. This was followed by seeing a picture of Baba at a kirtan which matched the dream's figure perfectly, igniting an intense longing. As Chapter 28 describes, this sequence of divinely orchestrated events demonstrates how Baba pulls his chosen devotees into his fold, making them his "pious chicks."
