Can you summarize the main story about the Fakir and Devidas from Chapter 5 of the Sai Satcharitra?

📖 Chapter 5

Chapter 5 narrates an interesting encounter involving a Fakir and a learned man named Devidas. Devidas had settled in Shirdi twelve years before Sai Baba's return and was considered a Guru by many villagers. As detailed in this chapter, a Fakir challenged Devidas to a scriptural debate but was defeated by Devidas's profound detachment and was driven away. Years later, the Fakir returned to Shirdi and bowed to Sainath, his delusion that he was the Guru and Sai was his disciple having been completely dispelled. Sai Baba, in his humility, continued to treat the Fakir with respect, embodying the lesson of true discipleship.
