Before he was famous in the mosque, where did Sai Baba live and what was his demeanor like?

Chapter 5 indicates that before settling in the mosque, Sai Baba lived for a long time in the Takia, which is a resting place for Fakirs. During his time there, he remained largely undisturbed. The text provides a vivid description of his activities, noting that he would tie bells to his feet and dance beautifully. He would accompany his dancing with the beat of a small tambourine, known as a khanjiri, and would also sing sweetly and with great love. This suggests a more solitary and artistically expressive period in his life before the crowds of devotees began to gather around him in the mosque.
