The story of Ratanji in the provided sections of Chapter 14 reveals nothing about any relationship between Sai Baba and Gajanan Maharaj. This is because Gajanan Maharaj is not mentioned even once in these excerpts. The narrative is centered entirely on the Parsi merchant Ratanji, his distress over not having a son, the advice he receives from Das Ganu to visit Shirdi, and his initial encounter with Sai Baba. As described in Chapter 14, the focus is on Ratanji's faith and Sai Baba's unique customs, such as asking for Dakshina. Any discussion of other saints or their potential relationships is absent from this account.
Based on the story of Ratanji, what can we learn about the relationship between Sai Baba and Gajanan Maharaj?
