What are the primary themes and narratives presented in Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra primarily explores the theme of pride as a significant obstacle on the spiritual path. It narrates the story of skeptics who, believing themselves superior as worshippers of a formless God, plan to visit Shirdi without bowing to Sai Baba or offering Dakshina. However, upon receiving his darshan, their pride dissolves, and they surrender completely. As this chapter explains, this is the place where "pride in one's path finds rest." The chapter also briefly mentions the power of Udi through the experience of Balaji Nevasakar and a story about treating a serpent with love, viewing it as Sai himself.
