How does Chapter 35 describe the mindset of certain visitors who were initially critical of Sai Baba, and what happened to them?

πŸ“– Chapter 35

Chapter 35 details the mindset of visitors who were critical of saints with form and the practice of giving monetary offerings (Dakshina). They held the belief that "a God with form is rooted in illusion" and that saints who accumulate wealth have diminished saintliness. They resolved to go to Shirdi to see Sai Baba but were firm in their decision not to bow at his feet or offer any money. However, the chapter explains that this prideful logic ultimately fails. Upon having the darshan of Sai, their firm resolve was forgotten, and "they bowed at his feet," surrendering completely and remaining devoted to him.
