How does Chapter 35 describe the transformation of skeptics who visit Sai Baba in Shirdi?

📖 Chapter 35

Chapter 35 details the experience of skeptics who visit Shirdi with a predetermined negative mindset. They resolve not to bow to Sai Baba or offer him Dakshina, believing that a saint's desire for wealth diminishes their saintliness. However, the chapter states that despite this firm resolve rooted in "false logic," the power of Sai's Darshan (divine viewing) completely overwhelms them. As the thirty-fifth chapter narrates, upon seeing Sai, they forget their previous intentions, surrender completely, and bow at his feet, remaining devoted thereafter. Their initial pride and skepticism dissolve in the face of direct experience.
