How were individuals who were initially skeptical of Sai Baba, particularly regarding the practice of Dakshina, ultimately transformed?

The text describes individuals who approached Shirdi with significant pride and skepticism. As detailed in Chapter 35, these people believed that a true saint should not accumulate wealth and thus viewed Sai Baba's practice of asking for Dakshina as a sign of diminished saintliness. They resolved to visit him but swore they would not bow or offer any money. However, Chapter 35 explains that this firm resolve would invariably crumble upon experiencing Sai's Darshan. The powerful union of the viewing would cause them to forget their previous logic, surrender completely, and remain devoted at Sai's feet, like one surrendering with a blade of grass between their teeth.
