Can you tell me about the relationship between Mhalasapati and Sai Baba?

Mhalasapati had an exceptionally close and intimate relationship with Maharaj. According to Chapter 0, Maharaj would alternate sleeping between the Masjid and the Chavadi. On the nights he stayed in the Masjid, Mhalasapati would devotedly sit with him from dusk until dawn. During these nights, very affectionate conversations took place between them. This routine continued without fail until Mhalasapati passed away. The text describes Mhalasapati as being highly advanced and completely selfless, serving as a source of guidance and a place of rest for other devotees, especially after Maharaj's passing, highlighting the depth of their spiritual bond.
