Chapter 35 details the journey of skeptics who travel to Shirdi with a firm resolve rooted in their spiritual pride. These individuals, often worshippers of a formless deity, believe that saints who accept Dakshina (monetary offerings) have diminished saintliness. They decide beforehand that they will neither bow at Sai Baba's feet nor give him any money. However, as Chapter 35 beautifully narrates, the moment they experience Sai's Darshan, their rigid determination vanishes. They forget their previous logic and, like someone surrendering completely, they bow at his feet, their pride finding rest and their souls experiencing extreme happiness.
