How did people, especially high-caste Brahmins, react to Sai Baba's unconventional ways as described in Chapter 7?

Chapter 7 explains that despite Sai Baba's paradoxical and unconventional nature, he was deeply revered by people from all walks of life, including those from the highest castes. The text specifically mentions that the "best of Brahmins" would come to worship him. Even Agnihotris, who are keepers of the sacred fire and known for their strict adherence to ritual purity, would abandon their pride and prostrate before him. According to this chapter, people were initially amazed and came to see the proof of his nature, but upon seeing him, they would become silent and humble, accepting his spiritual authority.
