According to the teachings in Chapter 33, what is the ultimate fate of the physical body and the universe, and how does Udi represent this?

In Chapter 33 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, a clear and direct teaching is offered about the nature of physical existence. The chapter explains that the Udi, or sacred ash, which Sai Baba distributed, was a powerful symbol for this teaching. The core message is that the entire visible universe is ultimately as transient as ash. Specifically regarding the human form, the text states that the body is like wood made of five elements, which exists only to experience its destined enjoyments. Once those experiences are exhausted, it will become motionless and turn into ash. The Udi given by Baba was a constant, physical reminder of this truth, encouraging devotees to remember that all of creation, including their own bodies, is impermanent.
