Aside from Kashiram, the texts mention Mhalasapati. What can you tell me about his relationship with Maharaj and his role among the devotees?

Mhalasapati shared an 'extremely close relationship' with Maharaj, as described in Chapter 0. He was a constant companion during the nights Maharaj slept in the Masjid. Mhalasapati would sit by Maharaj's side until dawn, and they engaged in 'very affectionate conversations.' This routine was a staple of their bond and continued until Mhalasapati's death. He was regarded as highly advanced spiritually and completely selfless. For other devotees, he was a source of guidance and joy, so much so that after Maharaj's passing, Mhalasapati became a 'place of rest for his devotees,' continuing to be a spiritual anchor for the community.
