Chapter 38 of the Sai Satcharitra begins with a series of invocations and salutations, followed by a profound glorification of Sai Baba, who is described as the 'Destroyer of duality' and the 'Cloud of Mercy'. As detailed in the chapter, Baba is hailed as an incarnation for the benefit of the people and the 'very mold of Brahman'. The text then transitions from the previous chapter's description of the Chavadi to introduce the forthcoming story of the Handi (cooking pot). A significant portion of the chapter is dedicated to expounding on the supreme virtue of food donation (Annadan), explaining it as the most important form of charity in the current age, the Kali Yuga. The text states that food is the form of the Supreme Reality and that Baba himself practiced this by feeding people.
