How did high-caste Brahmins and others seeking 'proof' of Baba's religion react upon meeting him?

Chapter 7 reveals that despite Baba's ambiguous identity, He was revered by all, including those from the highest castes. The text states that the 'best of Brahmins' and Agnihotris (keepers of the sacred fire) would abandon their pride in ritual purity and prostrate before Him. People who came specifically to investigate or find proof of His religious affiliation would be profoundly affected by His presence. Upon seeing Him, they would become 'silent and humble,' indicating that His spiritual stature and egolessness completely overshadowed any concerns about caste or creed.
