What is the significance of Sai Baba's statement about bringing a devotee 'like a sparrow's chick, binding a string to his feet'?

Chapter 28 shares a profound statement often made by Sai Baba: "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 analogy illustrates Baba's divine power and irresistible compassionate pull. It signifies that regardless of the physical distance, when the time is right, Baba will inevitably draw his chosen devotees to him for their spiritual benefit. The chapter introduces the story of Laxmichand as a real-life example of one such 'pious chick' who was brought to Shirdi by Baba's grace, proving these were not mere words.
