Chapter 35 describes a powerful transformation in visitors who were initially skeptical of Sai Baba. Can you detail how their firm resolves were broken and what their ultimate reaction was upon meeting him?

Chapter 35 vividly portrays the transformation of skeptical visitors. These individuals arrived with a strong resolve, born from their belief that saints should not accept wealth, to neither bow to Sai Baba nor offer him any Dakshina. However, the text explains that this firm stance completely shattered through the 'union of Darshan.' Upon seeing Sai, their previous logic and pride were forgotten. Their reaction was one of immediate and total surrender; they 'stayed right where they were' and 'bowed at his feet,' never turning back. This act of bowing is compared to the complete surrender of one holding a blade of grass between their teeth, signifying the absolute collapse of their ego.
