According to Chapter 9, what were the underlying reasons for Sai Baba's practice of begging for food?

Chapter 9 explains that Sai Baba's habit of begging for food, which he maintained until the end of his life, was not for his own sustenance but for the spiritual welfare of his devotees. The text clarifies that this practice was intended for the 'removal of the ‘Panchasuna’ and other sins' of the people he begged from. This act of accepting alms was a method Baba employed to purify households and their inhabitants. Furthermore, Chapter 9 connects this to the broader teaching that God, or Sai, is omnipresent and resides in all beings, and that by begging, he was actively engaging with his devotees to bestow his grace.
