Chapter 28 introduces Laxmichand as a devotee whose life exemplifies Sai Baba's divine power to draw people to him. Laxmichand is described as a trustworthy and obedient munshi, or clerk, who worked for the Ralli Brothers, a Greek merchant company in Mumbai, after having worked in the railways and at a printing press. The chapter presents his story as a real-world demonstration of Baba's famous proclamation: "I will bring him like a sparrow's chick, binding a string to his feet." As Chapter 28 narrates, Laxmichand was one of the many "pious chicks" from various lands who came to Shirdi, showcasing the divine plays of Baba in gathering his devotees.
Who is Laxmichand, and how does his story in Chapter 28 illustrate Sai Baba's divine play?
