What are the key stories and philosophical points introduced in Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra introduces several significant themes and stories. A primary focus is on overcoming the spiritual obstacle of pride, illustrated by skeptics who plan to test Sai Baba but end up surrendering completely upon his darshan. The chapter explicitly states that it will also narrate a story demonstrating the fame of the sacred ash (Udi) through the experience of Balaji Nevasakar. Furthermore, it mentions a story about how a serpent was treated with love, as if it were Sai himself. Philosophically, as described in Chapter 35, the text explores the all-pervading nature of Sai, who is present in every sensory experience, causing the triad of seer, seen, and seeing to vanish and erasing all duality.
