Could you describe the interaction between Devidas and the Fakir as detailed in the fifth chapter?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 5

Chapter 5 recounts a significant event involving Devidas, a wise man who had settled in Shirdi. A Fakir challenged him to a scriptural debate. Devidas, with his profound wisdom and detachment, defeated the Fakir, causing him to flee to Vaijapur. Years later, the Fakir returned to Shirdi, his delusion that he was Sai's Guru now completely dispelled, and he humbly bowed to Sainath. This story, which the text notes was originally told by Mahalsapati, highlights the Fakir's eventual repentance and purification, as well as Baba's respectful treatment of him throughout.
