According to Chapter 35, what is the most significant obstacle for someone on a spiritual path, and how does a visit to Sai Baba overcome it?

According to Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra, the most difficult and formidable obstacle on the spiritual path is the pride one has in their own beliefs. The chapter describes people who, filled with this pride, question the validity of worshipping a saint with a physical form like Sai Baba. They might resolve not to bow or offer Dakshina. However, the text beautifully illustrates that upon having a direct experience or 'darshan' of Sai, this pride dissolves. As Chapter 35 states, these individuals, who came with firm resolves, would forget their pride and surrender completely at Sai's feet, finding rest for their pride and immense happiness for their soul.
