What are the primary themes and stories discussed in Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra primarily explores the theme of surrendering spiritual pride. It details how skeptics, who were initially critical of bowing to saints or giving Dakshina (monetary offerings), would have a complete change of heart upon receiving Sai Baba's darshan. Their firm resolves would melt away in his presence. As mentioned in the text, Chapter 35 also indicates that it will narrate the experience of Balaji Nevasakar with Udi and a story about a serpent being treated with love. Finally, the author reflects on the profound, non-dual experience of being in Sai's presence, where a mere glance could satisfy all needs and erase the distinction between seer and seen.
