Chapter 38 of the Sai Satcharitra begins with extensive invocations and praises for Sai Baba, describing Him as the 'Destroyer of duality' and the 'very mold of Brahman'. The chapter then transitions to its main teaching, which is the supreme virtue of food donation (Annadan). As explained in Chapter 38, charity is the most important virtue for the Kali age, and among all forms of charity, feeding the hungry is paramount. The text states that food is the form of Para-Brahman and that Baba Himself followed this worldly custom by feeding people. The narrative also prepares the reader for the story of Baba's cooking pot, the Handi, which is said to grant uninterrupted joy.
