What does Chapter 7 reveal about the attitude of high-caste Brahmins towards Sai Baba?

Chapter 7 reveals that despite the confusion surrounding Sai Baba's religious affiliation, He commanded immense respect from even the most orthodox members of Hindu society. The text states that the 'best of Brahmins' and Agnihotris, who are keepers of the sacred fire, would abandon their pride in ritual purity and prostrate themselves before Him. As described in Chapter 7, people who came to see the proof of His nature would be amazed, becoming 'silent and humble upon seeing Him.' This shows that His spiritual power and holy presence transcended the rigid social and religious structures of the time.
