What are the main themes and stories covered in Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra primarily focuses on the significant spiritual obstacle of pride. As the chapter explains, pride in one's own spiritual path can be a "terrible forest." It recounts the story of skeptical visitors who, believing that saints should not accept wealth, resolved to visit Shirdi without bowing to Sai Baba or offering any Dakshina. However, upon receiving Sai's darshan, their firm resolve dissolved, and they surrendered at his feet. The chapter also briefly mentions the fame of the sacred ash (Udi) through the experience of Balaji Nevasakar and alludes to a story of a serpent being treated with love, as stated in Chapter 35.
