Dadasaheb Khaparde was a very learned and prominent figure, skilled in English and a well-known orator in the Legislative Assembly. However, as Chapter 27 describes, when he came before Sai Baba, he adopted a vow of silence. Unlike other devotees who spoke freely with Baba, Khaparde, along with Noolkar and Butti, showed his reverence through quiet humility. He would simply bow his head at Baba's feet, recognizing that the brilliance of intellectual scholarship, or 'Word-Brahman,' was dim before the spiritual radiance of Sai, the 'Pure Brahman.' His modesty was truly indescribable.
Can you describe Dadasaheb Khaparde and how he acted when he was with Sai Baba in Shirdi?
