Based on Chapter 5, what does Hemadpant say about the nature of a wise person and the importance of humility?

📖 Chapter 5

In Chapter 5, Hemadpant emphasizes that cleverness imagined by one's own intellect is useless for spiritual progress. He states that to achieve one's own welfare, one must act without pride. The chapter explains that a person who has "burned the pride of the body" has made their life meaningful and can then become a disciple to achieve the supreme goal. It describes how the young and old in Shirdi were amazed at Sai Baba's desireless state. Chapter 5 further elaborates that the actions of a wise man are dictated by previous karma, but he is not the doer of these actions and does not carry the burden of destiny. Such a person, whose own form is the entire universe, resides in a state of non-duality.
