Chapter 9 mentions that Sai Baba begged for food. What was the spiritual reason behind this practice?

As explained in Chapter 9, Sai Baba's habit of begging for food, which he continued until the end of his life, was not for himself but was a profound act for the benefit of his devotees. The text states that this practice was specifically for the removal of the 'Panchasuna' (five sins of a householder) and other sins. By accepting alms, Baba was essentially purifying the homes and lives of the devotees from whom he received food. This act served as a method for their spiritual welfare and demonstrated his immense compassion, as he took their karmic burdens upon himself.
