Chapter 35 narrates the profound transformation of skeptics who approach Sai Baba with a critical mindset. These individuals, having heard that Baba asks for money, believe his saintliness is questionable and resolve to neither bow at his feet nor offer any Dakshina. They feel that blind faith is not good and wish to have a direct experience before forming a judgment. However, the chapter powerfully illustrates that upon receiving Sai's darshan, their firm resolve and false logic completely dissolve. They forget their previous intentions and spontaneously surrender, bowing at his feet much like someone surrendering with a blade of grass between their teeth. This demonstrates the overwhelming power of Sai's presence to overcome pride and skepticism.
