How did high-caste Brahmins react to Sai Baba, and what does this reaction reveal about his influence as described in Chapter 7?

Chapter 7 highlights the profound impact Sai Baba had on people from all walks of life, including those of high caste. The text explicitly states that even the best of Brahmins and keepers of the sacred fire (Agnihotris) would worship him. These individuals would abandon their pride in ritual purity and prostrate themselves before him. As this chapter explains, people who came to see him, perhaps to find proof of his identity, would become silent and humble in his presence. This shows that his spiritual power and divine nature transcended societal and caste-based distinctions.
