Chapter 28 introduces the story of a 'dear lady' by comparing her to a chick that Baba binds and brings to Shirdi. This metaphor powerfully illustrates Baba's divine pull, or 'maya,' on his devotees. The lady, living in Berhampur, had never seen Baba but had a vivid dream where he asked for khichdi. Following this, her husband was conveniently transferred to Akola, bringing them closer to Shirdi. As the narrative in Chapter 28 unfolds, we see that her journey and her intense, unyielding resolve to offer the khichdi, even pushing past the mealtime curtain, were all manifestations of Baba's extraordinary 'maya' drawing his devoted 'chick' to him for direct darshan and the fulfillment of her devotion.
The text mentions Baba 'binding' a chick and bringing it to Shirdi. How does the story of the lady from Berhampur illustrate this concept?
