What are the benefits of Udi according to the provided text?

The text highlights both spiritual and worldly benefits of Udi. According to Chapter 33, Udi is so important that without it, crossing the 'river of worldly existence becomes very difficult.' This points to its immense spiritual value. The source describes Sai Baba as the 'helmsman of the path of spiritual welfare,' who provides this welfare while also fulfilling the worldly interests of his devotees. While the stories of Udi's benefits are said to be countless, its primary function is as a 'Prasad' or blessed offering that Baba gave to wish for the welfare of his devotees, thereby covering both spiritual and material well-being.
