Chapter 33 provides specific details about the importance of receiving Udi upon departure. It was a known and established practice for devotees to ask for Baba's permission before leaving Shirdi to return to their villages. The chapter states that when Baba gave them the Udi and said, 'Take the Udi,' this was considered the true granting of permission. This act was more than just a parting gift; it was a formal consent and blessing for the journey. The text notes that receiving this confirmation would make the devotee's mind feel enthusiastic about their return trip, as they were assured of Baba's grace and approval. This highlights a specific and meaningful ritual within the broader practice of Udi distribution.
