Laxmichand's profound devotion to Sai Baba was solidified by direct experiences of Baba's omniscience, as detailed in Chapter 28. The turning point was when Baba miraculously fulfilled his unspoken desire for khaja and also acknowledged his physical ailments, which made Laxmichand realize Baba's divine nature. This experience fixed his love on Baba. Following this, his devotion became a regular practice. The text notes that whenever Laxmichand found out someone was traveling to Shirdi, he would unfailingly send offerings through them, specifically mentioning a garland, dakshina (a monetary offering), camphor, and incense. This demonstrates how his initial awe transformed into a continuous and practical expression of worship.
