How does Chapter 33 connect the concept of Maya and Brahman to the physical act of Sai Baba giving Udi?

Chapter 33 provides a deep theological explanation connecting the act of giving Udi to the concepts of Maya and Brahman. The chapter posits that the Udi is a tangible symbol meant to instill a higher understanding. It states that the entire universe is pervaded by Maya (illusion) and that Brahman alone is the ultimate, unchanging reality. The sacred ash represents the final, transient state of all material forms, including our own bodies. As mentioned in Chapter 33, when Baba gave the Udi, he was essentially giving a constant reminder of this truth, encouraging devotees to maintain awareness and distinguish the illusory from the real.
