According to Chapter 33, what specific awareness did Sai Baba want his devotees to maintain when he gave them Vibhuti?

πŸ“– Chapter 33

Chapter 33 of the Sai Satcharitra explains that when Sai Baba gave his devotees Vibhuti, or Udi, he intended to impart a specific spiritual awareness. He wanted them to constantly remember the impermanence of the physical form and the material world. The chapter states that the Udi signifies that the body is like wood, which exists only to experience its destiny and will ultimately turn to ash. Baba's stated intention was for both himself and his devotees to maintain this remembrance day and night. The act of giving Udi was a lesson that the entire universe is pervaded by Maya (illusion) and that Brahman alone is the real, infinite truth, a meaning devotees were to accept with certainty.
