According to Chapter 5, what was the relationship between Sai Baba and Devidas, and what lesson did Baba's conduct teach?

Chapter 5 details a fascinating dynamic between Sai Baba and Devidas. Devidas was a wise man whom many, including Tatyaba, regarded as a Guru. Although Sai Baba was the supreme master, he treated Devidas with great respect and adopted the public stance of being his disciple. The text highlights Baba's profound humility with the phrase, "His Guruship to him, and my discipleship to me." This behavior, as explained in Chapter 5, served as a powerful lesson. It demonstrated that one must burn the pride of the body and be willing to become anyone's disciple to achieve the ultimate spiritual goal, emphasizing that selflessness is the key to crossing the ocean of worldly existence.
