What details about Sai Baba's life in Shirdi are mentioned or foreshadowed in Chapter 8?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 8

While Chapter 8 is heavily philosophical, it provides and previews several interesting details about Sai Baba's life. It recaps how he first appeared as a lad, was known as a "mad fakir," and miraculously turned a barren wasteland into a garden where a mansion (wada) was later built. The chapter also mentions his intense yogic practices, specifically Dhauti, Poti, and Khanda-yoga. Furthermore, as described in Chapter 8, it sets the stage for future stories by mentioning Baba's habit of begging for alms (bhiksha), the dedicated service he received from Baijabai, the wonder of his meals, and how he used to sleep in the Masjid alongside his close devotees Tatya and Mhalsapati.
