Who was Balaji Patil Nevasakar and what examples of his extreme devotion to Sai Baba are mentioned?

Balaji Patil Nevasakar was a great devotee of Sai Baba known for his extraordinary and selfless service. As Chapter 35 recounts, his devotion was demonstrated in several profound ways. He undertook the daily task of sweeping the paths Baba walked in the village and to Lendi. Furthermore, after every harvest, he would bring all his grain to the mosque, offering it to Baba and only taking back what Baba gave him for his family's sustenance. In a striking act of devotion, he would even drink the wastewater after Baba had bathed. This illustrates his complete self-sacrifice and detachment, viewing Baba as the owner of everything.
