Can you explain the interaction between Devidas and the Fakir as detailed in Chapter 5, and what was Sai Baba's role in this?

According to the account in Chapter 5, Devidas was a wise teacher in Shirdi who had arrived twelve years before Baba's return with the wedding party. He was considered a Guru by prominent villagers. A Fakir was brought before Devidas, and a scriptural debate ensued. Devidas, with his strong sense of detachment, defeated the Fakir, who then fled to Vaijapur. Years later, this same Fakir returned and bowed to Sainath. Chapter 5 explains that this experience dispelled the Fakir's delusion that he was Sai's Guru. Sai Baba, demonstrating profound humility, continued to treat the Fakir with respect, embodying the lesson "His Guruship to him, and my discipleship to me."
