Chapter 33 provides a clear explanation of how Sai Baba used Udi to teach about Maya and the nature of reality. The chapter poses the question of the Udi's significance and answers that Baba used it to show that the visible universe is illusory and transient. The text explicitly states that "The entire universe is pervaded by Maya (illusion); Brahman alone is real, the cosmos is infinite; this Udi is the sign of this truth." By giving the Udi, Baba was providing a tangible reminder that the physical body and the world are temporary, destined to become ash, encouraging devotees to remember this truth and focus on the eternal reality of Brahman.
