Chapter 9 mentions that Sai Baba begged for food until the end of his life. What was the stated purpose and spiritual significance behind this daily practice?

The text of Chapter 9 explains that Sai Baba's habit of begging for food, which he maintained until the very end of his life, was not for his own sustenance but for a higher spiritual purpose. This practice was undertaken for the welfare of his devotees, specifically for the removal of the ‘Panchasuna’ (five sins committed in the household) and other sins. This act also served to impress upon everyone the profound truth that God resides in all beings, as the chapter states that from Brahma to the smallest inanimate object, Sai is pervaded everywhere.
