What was Sai Baba's life like before he became famous and moved into the renovated mosque?

Chapter 5 provides some details about Sai Baba's life before the transformation of the mosque, which began around 1912. Prior to staying in the mosque, Baba lived for a long time in a Takia, which is described as a resting place for Fakirs. During his time there, he remained largely undisturbed. The text paints a vivid picture of his activities, stating that he would tie bells to his feet, play a small tambourine (khanjiri), and would both dance beautifully and sing sweetly with love. This contrasts with the later period when a larger unity of devotees gathered around him.
