Chapter 35 illustrates the powerful transformative effect of Sai Baba's presence on even the most determined skeptics. The text states that no matter how firm their resolve was, those who came with such "false logic" ultimately surrendered to Sai upon having his Darshan. The chapter describes how they would forget their previous intentions and bow at his feet, comparing the act to surrendering with a blade of grass held between their teeth. As Chapter 35 puts it, these visitors "never turned back again, but remained devoted at Sai's feet." The experience provided a place where their pride could find rest and their souls could feel extreme happiness.
