How did Balaji Patil Nevasakar demonstrate his complete detachment and self-sacrifice for Baba?

Balaji Patil Nevasakar's devotion was marked by extraordinary self-sacrifice and detachment, as detailed in Chapter 35. He considered Baba the true owner of everything and lived his life accordingly. After every harvest, he would bring all the grain from his field to the mosque and offer the entire yield at Baba's feet. He would then only take back for his family's sustenance whatever amount Baba chose to give him. In a further act of profound devotion, Balaji would wait until after Baba had bathed and washed his hands and feet, and then he would drink the wastewater from the drain. Chapter 35 notes that this practice continued for his entire life, showcasing a level of self-sacrifice and detachment from worldly possessions that was truly remarkable.
