Chapter 5 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra recounts a story involving a wise man named Devidas, who had settled in Shirdi twelve years before Sai Baba's arrival with the wedding party. The narrative describes how a Fakir challenged Devidas to a scriptural debate and was defeated. This Fakir fled but returned many years later, his delusion dispelled, and bowed to Sainath. As explained in Chapter 5, this entire episode serves to illustrate a profound lesson about the nature of Guruship and discipleship, emphasizing humility and the importance of setting aside pride. The chapter also mentions how this story was originally told by the great devotee Mahalsapati.
