How does Chapter 35 describe the attitude of people who were skeptical of Sai Baba's practice of accepting Dakshina, and what happened to them?

πŸ“– Chapter 35

Chapter 35 details the mindset of skeptics who questioned Sai Baba's saintliness due to his acceptance of Dakshina, or monetary offerings. They held the view that "When saints begin to accumulate wealth, their saintliness is diminished." According to the chapter, these individuals considered themselves worshippers of the formless and saw bowing to a human saint as a "mockery of devotion." They decided to visit Shirdi to have a direct experience but were firm in their resolve not to bow or offer any money. However, Chapter 35 reveals that this intellectual pride could not withstand the power of Sai's presence. Upon having his darshan, their firm resolve vanished, and they spontaneously surrendered at his feet, forgetting all their previous logic and skepticism.
