How did the relationship between Mhalasapati, Kashiram, Appa Jagle, and Sai Baba evolve, and what became of them?

As detailed in Chapter 0, the relationship began when Mhalasapati greeted Baba at the Khandoba temple and brought him into the village, introducing him to Kashiram Shimpi and Appa Jagle. The text states that all three became 'total devotees of Maharaj.' Their service was profound, but their time was limited. The chapter notes that Kashiram died first, and some years later, Appa also passed away. It is mentioned as a sign of their blessed status that both men were fortunate enough to die on an Ekadashi day, considered an auspicious day for devotees.
