Describe the sequence of events where Baba sends Shama with Mirikar. What does this interaction reveal about the characters' relationships with Baba?

📖 Chapter 22

The sequence of events is a fascinating display of faith and obedience. According to Chapter 22, after Mirikar began to leave, Baba called Madhavrao (Shama) back and told him to go with Mirikar to Chitali. Shama dutifully informed Mirikar, who initially refused. Shama then returned to Baba, who calmly stated, "What of ours is lost?" Seeing this, Mirikar had a change of heart and beckoned Shama to join him. However, Shama, demonstrating his complete subservience to Baba's will, insisted on getting permission again, saying, "I am a slave to his command." He went back to Baba, who laughed and granted permission. This interaction shows Mirikar's wavering but ultimately returning faith, and Shama's absolute, unwavering devotion and obedience to Baba's every word.
