What was the nature of the relationship between Mhalasapati and Sai Maharaj?

Mhalasapati shared an exceptionally close and intimate relationship with Sai Maharaj. According to the narrative in Chapter 0, Mhalasapati was a constant companion to Maharaj. It is mentioned that Maharaj would alternate sleeping between the Masjid and the Chavadi. On the nights Maharaj slept in the Masjid, Mhalasapati would devotedly sit by his side until dawn, engaging in affectionate conversations. This routine continued until Mhalasapati's passing. The text describes Mhalasapati as highly advanced and completely selfless, serving as a source of guidance and a place of rest for devotees, especially after Maharaj's time. His long-standing, nightly vigil highlights the deep bond they shared.
