Could you detail the significance of Bade Baba in Sai Baba's daily life and how this relationship was demonstrated?

📖 Chapter 23

Bade Baba held a position of exceptional importance in Sai Baba's daily life, as highlighted in Chapter 23. His seat was at Baba's right hand, and Baba would not smoke the Chillum until Bade Baba had taken a puff first. This deference extended to meals, where Baba would not eat a single morsel until Bade Baba had taken his. An anecdote from a Diwali festival illustrates this powerfully: when Bade Baba went away in a huff, the entire meal was held up. Everyone waited, and the meal only commenced after Bade Baba was found and brought back to the dining row. This demonstrates a profound and unique relationship where Baba placed Bade Baba's presence above His own needs.
