Describe Sai Baba's relationship with Devidas as explained in Chapter 5. What lesson is conveyed through their dynamic?

📖 Chapter 5

Chapter 5 illustrates a profound lesson through Sai Baba's relationship with Devidas. Although Devidas was another holy man in Shirdi, Baba maintained the humble feeling that 'he is the Guru and I am the disciple.' Even after a Fakir challenged and lost to Devidas, Baba continued to treat him with respect. This behavior, which Sainath himself practiced, teaches the crucial lesson of humility and the importance of having a Guru. The chapter states, 'His Guruship to him, and my discipleship to me,' highlighting that one must become someone's disciple to cross the ocean of worldly existence.
