What are the primary teachings and stories introduced in Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra primarily addresses the significant spiritual obstacle of pride, particularly the pride in one's own chosen path of worship. The chapter narrates the story of skeptics who, believing in a formless God, plan to visit Shirdi without bowing to Sai Baba or offering Dakshina, viewing such acts as improper. However, upon receiving his Darshan, their resolve dissolves, and they surrender completely. As stated in Chapter 35, the chapter also foreshadows other stories, including the experience of Balaji Nevasakar with Udi and an account of a serpent being treated with love as if it were Sai himself, highlighting the diverse ways Sai's grace manifests.
