The text highlights Dadasaheb Khaparde's unique and profound humility before Sai Baba. Chapter 27 explains that although he was a very learned man and a skilled orator in the Legislative Assembly, he would observe a vow of silence in Baba's presence. While many other devotees spoke freely with Baba, some even talking back without hesitation, Khaparde, along with Noolkar and Butti, was different. He would simply bow his head before Baba, demonstrating an indescribable humility and modesty. The text notes that even though one might learn the Panchadashi of Vidyaranya from him, Dadasaheb would become silent as soon as he entered the Masjid, as the brilliance of the Supreme Brahman, embodied by Sai, puts all scholarship to shame.
