What is the main lesson conveyed through the story of the Fakir in Chapter 5?

Chapter 5 uses the story of the Fakir to teach a profound lesson about humility and the nature of the Guru-disciple relationship. After being defeated in a debate by Devidas, the Fakir fled, but upon his return years later, his delusion that he was Sai's Guru was dispelled. The chapter highlights Sai Baba's own attitude, "His Guruship to him, and my discipleship to me," as a lesson in selflessness. The text emphasizes that one who wants to achieve their own welfare should act without pride. As Chapter 5 concludes, this behavior is a lesson in itself, and only a person with firm resolution can climb the "fort of selflessness."
