Can you describe the story of Devidas and the Fakir as told in Chapter 5?

πŸ“– Chapter 5

Chapter 5 narrates 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 to many, including Appa Bhill. A Fakir challenged Devidas to a scriptural debate, but Devidas, with his profound detachment, defeated the Fakir, who then fled to Vaijapur. This same Fakir, who had a delusion that he was a Guru to Sai, returned many years later. Humbled, he bowed to Sainath, his delusion dispelled, and Baba treated him with respect, showcasing a profound lesson in humility.
