Chapter 35 vividly describes a complete transformation in the visitors who arrive with pride and a firm resolve not to show reverence. Despite their initial logic and determination to not bow or offer Dakshina, the moment they come into Sai Baba's presence for Darshan, their intellectual barriers crumble. The chapter states that "through the union of Darshan, they surrender to Sai." Instead of turning back as they might have planned, they forget their previous convictions and bow at his feet, much like someone surrendering with a blade of grass between their teeth. Chapter 35 emphasizes that this experience brings them not humiliation, but a state where "pride in one's path finds rest, and the soul feels extreme happiness."
Based on Chapter 35, what happens to the prideful visitors when they finally meet Sai Baba?
