What kinds of people came to see Sai Baba, and what does this tell us about his appeal?

The court of Sai Baba in Shirdi attracted an incredibly diverse range of people, showcasing his universal appeal. Chapter 32 describes a vast assembly of visitors eager for his darshan. This included people of high status like kings and princes, as well as spiritual seekers like yogis, sannyasis, and pilgrims. Astrologers, Maulvis, householders, and renouncers all came and bowed to him. The crowd also featured the sick and the healthy, performers like singers, dancers, and Gondhalis, and marginalized individuals such as the blind and the lame. The text mentions that people from all walks of life, including Jogis, Nanaks, and Bhats, rushed to what is called the "loving assembly of the Almighty Sai," indicating that his court was a place of refuge and grace for everyone, regardless of their social, religious, or physical condition.
