How did high-caste Brahmins and Agnihotris react to Sai Baba, and what does this reveal about his spiritual authority?

Chapter 7 reveals the profound spiritual authority of Sai Baba by describing the reactions of even the most orthodox members of Hindu society. The text states that despite the ambiguity of His religious background, the "best of Brahmins" would come to worship Him. Even Agnihotris, who are keepers of the sacred fire and traditionally hold themselves to high standards of ritual purity, would abandon their pride and prostrate before Him. As the chapter explains, people who came to see the proof of who He was would become silent and humble in His presence, indicating that His spiritual power transcended all social and religious hierarchies.
