Please explain the metaphor of the 'sparrow's chick' from Chapter 28 and how it relates to the devotee Laxmichand.

📖 Chapter 28

Chapter 28 introduces a powerful metaphor to describe how Sai Baba draws his devotees to him. Baba is quoted as saying, "My person may be in distant lands, may be thousands of miles away, I will bring him like a sparrow's chick, binding a string to his feet." This illustrates Baba's divine power to connect with and pull his chosen people to Shirdi, regardless of distance. The chapter then presents the devotee Laxmichand as a specific example of this phenomenon, calling him "one; this pious chick belonged to Baba." The text explains that this calling happens when the accumulated karma of many births ripens, leading to the attainment of a saint's company.
