Why would a holy man like Sai Baba risk his health by interacting so closely with Bhagoji Shinde, who had leprosy? Wasn't that an irresponsible daily routine?

According to the provided text from Chapter 0, Shri Sai Maharaj's daily routine included close interaction with a gentleman named Bhagoji Shinde, who was afflicted with leprosy. Every morning, Bhagoji would untie the bandages on Maharaj's hand, rub his hands, and press his whole body. They even shared a chillum. The source material explicitly states that 'Maharaj never felt disgust for him nor changed his daily routine regarding him one bit.' This demonstrates a profound lack of prejudice and a consistent display of compassion, suggesting his actions were a powerful form of teaching through example that transcended conventional concerns about personal risk.
