📖 Chapter 8

While Chapter 8 is renowned for its philosophical discussion on human life, its introduction also sets the stage for several narrative elements. The chapter begins by recapping how Sai Baba first appeared in Shirdi and his intense yogic practices like Dhauti and Khanda-yoga. Looking forward, the text explicitly introduces several topics, including Sai Baba's daily routine of begging for alms (bhiksha), the dedicated and loving service rendered to him by Baijabai, and the "wonder of Baba’s meals." It also provides an intimate glimpse into Baba's life by mentioning how he used to sleep in the Masjid alongside his close devotees Tatya and Mhalsapati.
