How does Chapter 35 describe the transformation of skeptics who visited Sai Baba with preconceived notions?

Chapter 35 details a profound transformation experienced by skeptics who visited Sai Baba. These individuals initially approached Shirdi with a strong sense of pride and a critical mindset, believing that saints should not accumulate wealth and that bowing to them was unnecessary. They firmly decided they would neither bow to Sai nor offer him Dakshina. Yet, the chapter vividly illustrates that the power of Sai's darshan (sacred viewing) was overwhelming. Upon seeing him, their "false logic" and firm resolve would shatter. The text states they would "surrender to Sai," forgetting their previous intentions and remaining devoted at his feet. This highlights a central theme in Chapter 35: the power of direct experience with a Guru to overcome intellectual pride.
