What is the primary story conveyed in the latter half of Chapter 5 of the Sai Satcharitra?

📖 Chapter 5

The latter portion of Chapter 5 primarily recounts the story of Devidas, a wise teacher who had settled in Shirdi twelve years before Sai Baba's return with the wedding party. The chapter details how Devidas taught scriptures to the villagers and was highly respected. A key event described is a scriptural debate in which Devidas defeated a Fakir, who then fled but returned years later, repentant, and bowed to Sainath. As Chapter 5 explains, the most profound lesson is Sai Baba's own humility in treating Devidas as his Guru, embodying the principle of discipleship. This entire narrative is attributed to Mahalsapati, a great devotee of Sainath.
