Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra explains that individuals who approached Sai Baba with skepticism and pride often had their perspectives completely transformed. These people, who might have worshipped the formless and questioned the value of bowing to a saint with a physical form, would resolve not to offer Dakshina (monetary offerings) or even bow their heads. However, the chapter states that upon receiving Sai Baba's darshan (viewing), their firm resolve would melt away. They would forget their previous logic and surrender at his feet, much like someone surrendering with a blade of grass between their teeth. This chapter is specifically highlighted as the place where "pride in one's path finds rest."
