Can you provide an overview of the key themes and stories introduced in Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra covers several important themes. It begins by identifying pride in one's own spiritual path as a 'terrible forest' and the most formidable obstacle for a seeker. The chapter then illustrates this by describing people who, believing in a formless God, were skeptical of Sai Baba's form and his practice of accepting Dakshina. Despite their resolve not to bow or pay, they would invariably surrender upon receiving his Darshan. As mentioned in the chapter, it also foreshadows two specific stories: one detailing the power of the sacred ash (Udi) through the experience of Balaji Nevasakar, and another about how a serpent was treated with love as if it were Sai himself. The chapter concludes with the author's beautiful description of being sustained by Sai's mere glance.
