Chapter 5, titled "The Re-appearance of Shri Sai," concludes by wrapping up the story of Devidas and the lesson on discipleship, attributing the tale to the devotee Mahalsapati. The author, Hemadpant, then transitions by promising that the subsequent narratives will be even more profound. As detailed in the final verses of Chapter 5, it specifically foreshadows several topics for future discussion. These include the history of the mosque and how its floor was paved, the enduring mystery of whether Sai Baba was of Hindu or Muslim lineage, and a description of Baba’s daily yogic practices and activities like washing, grinding, and how he experienced the sufferings of his devotees.
