How did Maharaj's approach to healing people evolve during his early days in the village?

Initially, Maharaj's healing practice involved administering conventional medicine to people. As detailed in Chapter 0, he never accepted money for his services. If a patient was not being properly looked after, he would personally take on the responsibility of caring for them. Over time, however, his methods changed. He eventually stopped giving medicine altogether and instead began providing only Udi, or sacred ash, which people found beneficial. He explained this shift to the writer, whom he called Kaka, stating that he stopped giving medicine and started chanting 'Hari Hari', and through this devotion, he 'met Hari'. This indicates a transition from physical remedies to spiritual healing.
