Can you explain the significance of Bade Baba and his relationship with Sai Baba?

Bade Baba held a position of immense importance in Sai Baba's inner circle. As detailed in Chapter 23, his seat was at Baba's right hand. Sai Baba showed him extreme deference, to the point that Baba would not smoke the Chillum until Bade Baba had taken a puff, nor would he begin his meal until Bade Baba had taken a morsel. This illustrates that, in a sense, "without Bade Baba, not a leaf would move for Baba." This unique relationship underscores Bade Baba's special status as a guest and devotee whose presence was integral to Baba's daily routines.
