Who was Mhalasapati and what defined his relationship with Maharaj?

Mhalasapati was a devotee who shared an exceptionally close and intimate relationship with Maharaj. As detailed in Chapter 0, his devotion was characterized by consistent, selfless service. On the nights when Maharaj slept in the Masjid, Mhalasapati would remain with him, sitting by his side until dawn, and they would share affectionate conversations. This routine of staying awake with Maharaj in the Masjid every other night continued until Mhalasapati's death. The text describes him as highly advanced and completely selfless. After Maharaj, Mhalasapati became a source of guidance, joy, and a 'place of rest' for other devotees, highlighting his spiritual stature and importance within the community.
