Chapter 5 mentions that a wise man resides in non-duality. How does the story of the Fakir and Devidas illustrate this concept and the role of karma?

Chapter 5 of the Sai Satcharitra uses the narrative of the Fakir and Devidas to illustrate the advanced concept of a wise man residing in non-duality. The chapter states that the "bodily activities of a wise man happen according to previous karma" and that he is not the true doer. Baba's initial defeat in the debate and his departure can be seen as this play of karma, not an actual failing. His eventual return and respectful bow demonstrate non-duality, as he transcends the ego-driven roles of Guru and disciple. As Chapter 5 explains, "Only if the sun were to enter darkness would a wise man have the sense of duality." By playing both roles without attachment, Baba shows that for him, the entire universe is his own form, and he resides in this state of non-duality.
