How does Chapter 35 describe the transformation of skeptics who visit Sai Baba with a sense of pride in their own beliefs?

Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra details the journey of individuals who are initially skeptical of Sai Baba. These individuals, often worshippers of a formless God, harbor pride in their own spiritual path and look down upon bowing to saints or offering Dakshina. As described in the chapter, they believe that saints who accumulate wealth have diminished saintliness. They resolve to visit Shirdi but vow not to bow or give any offerings. However, the narrative explains that upon receiving Sai Baba's darshan, their firm resolve completely dissolves. The powerful experience of seeing Sai makes them forget their prior logic and pride, leading them to surrender at his feet. This chapter beautifully illustrates how direct experience with a true Guru can overcome even the most formidable obstacle of spiritual pride.
