Can you summarize the main story told in Chapter 5 of the Sai Satcharitra?

📖 Chapter 5

Chapter 5 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra primarily recounts the story of Devidas and a Fakir in Shirdi. As detailed in this chapter, Devidas was a wise teacher who had settled in Shirdi years before Sai Baba's arrival with the wedding party. A Fakir challenged Devidas to a debate but was defeated and fled, only to return years later with a changed heart. The Fakir, who once considered himself a Guru to Sai, realized his delusion and bowed to Sainath. This entire narrative, as explained by Mahalsapati, illustrates Baba's profound lesson on humility and the Guru-disciple relationship. The chapter concludes by mentioning it was composed by Hemadpant and is titled "The Re-appearance of Shri Sai."
