Who was Kashiram, and what was his relationship with Sai Baba?

Kashiram was a devotee of Sai Baba who worked as a cloth seller. Chapter 0 describes several key aspects of his life and relationship with Baba. Initially, he was prideful, but a Leela orchestrated by Baba, involving financial hardship, humbled him. He was also a man of principle, carrying powdered sugar to feed ants on the advice of a saint named Janakidas Baba. His deep faith in Maharaj was most evident after he was brutally attacked by robbers. Despite a severe head injury from an axe, he refused to go to a hospital and insisted on being taken to Shirdi. There, by Maharaj's grace and instructions, he was treated and recovered fully, later even receiving a sword from the government for his bravery.
