Can you narrate the encounter between Devidas and the Fakir as described in Chapter 5?

📖 Chapter 5

Chapter 5 of the Sai Satcharitra tells the story of Devidas, a wise man who had settled in Shirdi twelve years before Sai Baba's return. He was a revered teacher who taught locals like Appa Bhill. A Fakir once challenged Devidas to a scriptural debate, but Devidas, with his profound detachment, defeated the Fakir, who then fled to Vaijapur. Years later, as recounted in this chapter, the same Fakir returned and bowed to Sainath, his delusion about being a Guru having been completely dispelled. Baba, in his grace, treated him with respect, illustrating a profound lesson on humility and the Guru-disciple relationship.
