In Chapter 5, we learn of a Fakir who engaged in a scriptural debate with Devidas. Devidas, with his wisdom and profound detachment, defeated the Fakir in this debate, which caused the Fakir to flee from Shirdi and go live in Vaijapur. The narrative then reveals a significant development: after many years, this same Fakir returned. Upon his return, his delusion of being a great Guru was dispelled, and he repented by bowing to Sainath. Chapter 5 notes that Sai Baba, in turn, treated the returned Fakir with the same respect as before, showcasing Baba's immense compassion and how the Fakir became pure through repentance.
Could you elaborate on the story of the Fakir and his interaction with Devidas and Sai Baba as told in Chapter 5?
