Can you explain the dynamic between Sai Baba and Devidas as portrayed in Chapter 5?

πŸ“– Chapter 5

Chapter 5 illustrates a profound lesson in humility through the dynamic between Sai Baba and Devidas. Although Devidas had arrived in Shirdi earlier and was regarded as a Guru by locals, Baba treated him with immense respect. Even after a Fakir, who was defeated in a debate by Devidas, returned years later to bow before Sainath, Baba continued to maintain the attitude of a disciple towards Devidas. The text highlights this as a deliberate play by Baba, who practiced the lesson, "His Guruship to him, and my discipleship to me." This story, relayed by Mahalsapati, shows Baba's selflessness and his method of teaching by example.
