Why does the author of the Satcharitra consider Shirdi to be a blessed and holy place in Chapter 26?

In Chapter 26, the author expresses that it was the great fortune and merit of the village of Shirdi that Sai Baba arrived and chose to reside there. His presence is described as having transformed the location into a holy pilgrimage site, or 'Kshetra'. The text states, "Blessed is the merit of Shirdi that this merciful Sai makes this place fortunate and adorns it with His presence." It is solely due to Baba's arrival and continued residence that Shirdi became a hallowed ground, a place where devotees could find a merciful being who would destroy their sorrow and grant peace to their minds.
