Can you describe the interaction between Devidas and the Fakir as mentioned in Chapter 5?

📖 Chapter 5

Chapter 5 of the Sai Satcharitra recounts the story of Devidas, a wise individual who had settled in Shirdi twelve years before Sai Baba's arrival with the wedding party. He was a respected teacher and Guru to many. A Fakir challenged Devidas to a scriptural debate, but Devidas, with his wisdom and detachment, defeated him. The Fakir then fled to Vaijapur. As the narrative in Chapter 5 explains, this same Fakir returned many years later, his delusion of superiority gone, and bowed to Sainath. Baba, in his humility, continued to treat him with respect, and the Fakir became pure through repentance.
