Can you describe Dadasaheb Khaparde's background and how he conducted himself in Sai Baba's presence?

Dadasaheb Khaparde was a highly distinguished and learned gentleman, renowned for his expertise in English education and his powerful oratory within the Legislative Assembly. Despite his ability to influence others with his speech, he adopted a vow of silence when before Sai Baba. The narrative in Chapter 27 explains that Khaparde, along with Noolkar and Butti, was among the few devotees who would not speak with Baba. Instead, he would simply bow his head at Sai's feet, displaying an indescribable humility and modesty. This behavior illustrated how even a brilliant scholar recognized the supreme nature of Sai, whose spiritual brilliance could put worldly scholarship to shame.
