How does the text illustrate the dynamic between Sai Baba and his devotees during the Chavadi procession?

The text in Chapter 37 uses a powerful metaphor to describe the relationship between Sai Baba and his followers during the Chavadi events. Sai is portrayed as a 'powerful magnet' who, with the 'attraction of His own power,' would pull the 'iron-like devotees' and draw them unknowingly to His feet. This illustrates a divine, irresistible pull. The devotees responded with active participation, with men and women playing various instruments for the bhajan, while others lit torches, decorated the palanquin, and shouted slogans. Baba remained the serene center of this whirlwind of devotional activity.
