Dharamsee's experience, as recounted in Chapter 35, shows a complete transformation from skepticism to belief. He arrived with a resolve not to offer anything but found himself giving fifteen rupees of his own accord, admitting that his "whole boast was in vain." He realized that the ways of saints are inscrutable and felt he had been "immersed in their experience." The final step in this conversion was when he and his companion received the Udi Prasad and Sai's blessing. Chapter 35 states that they then "returned without doubt," indicating that the Udi served as the final seal on their experience, dispelling any lingering skepticism and cementing their faith in Sai's immense fame and power.
Based on the story of Dharamsee, how did an encounter with Sai Baba, culminating in receiving Udi, affect a skeptic?
