Chapter 5 mentions Baba's humility in the context of a Guru-disciple relationship. Can you explain this specific instance and the lesson it teaches?

πŸ“– Chapter 5

Chapter 5 recounts an incident involving a Fakir who once may have considered himself Sai Baba's Guru. After a long absence, the Fakir returned to Shirdi, his delusion dispelled, and he bowed to Sainath. Despite this, Baba continued to treat him with respect, maintaining the attitude of being a disciple. As Chapter 5 explains, Baba's profound play involved upholding the sentiment, "His Guruship to him, and my discipleship to me." This act serves as a powerful lesson in humility, demonstrating that true spiritual advancement requires setting aside ego. The text suggests that making someone your Guru is the best way to "cross to the other shore," and Sai Baba himself practiced this principle of selfless discipleship.
