According to Chapter 35, what is considered a major obstacle on the spiritual path, and how does seeing Sai Baba resolve it?

Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra identifies a significant obstacle on the spiritual path: pride in one's own beliefs and practices. The text explicitly states, "pride in one's own path becomes a terrible forest; There is no obstacle more difficult and formidable than this pride." This pride manifested in people who believed their way of worship was superior and who were critical of bowing to saints or giving offerings. As this chapter describes, the resolution to this formidable obstacle was the direct experience, or darshan, of Sai Baba. Upon seeing him, even the most resolute skeptics would forget their pride and preconceived notions, surrendering completely at his feet and finding immense happiness.
