The provided text from Chapter 35 does not suggest that Balaji Patil Nevasakar's service was considered more significant than that of others. It describes his service of sweeping Baba's paths as a daily task born of extraordinary devotion. The text then explicitly mentions that this pattern of service was continued by Radhakrishnabai, noting her "great skill" and her willingness to perform this "menial" service despite being a Brahmin. It further states that "after some time, Abdul moved forward in this." The source presents these individuals as examples of great devotees without creating a hierarchy or comparing the significance of their respective services.
Why was Balaji Patil Nevasakar's service of sweeping Baba's paths considered more significant than the service performed by Radhakrishnabai or Abdul?
