What are the principal themes addressed in Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra primarily tackles the significant spiritual obstacle of pride, especially the intellectual pride of individuals who are skeptical of saints who accept offerings or have a physical form. The chapter describes how people who firmly resolve not to bow or offer Dakshina to Sai Baba find their convictions dissolving upon receiving his Darshan. As the text states, this is the chapter where "pride in one's path finds rest." It also briefly foreshadows other stories, mentioning the power of the Udi through the experience of Balaji Nevasakar and an account of a serpent being treated with love as a manifestation of Sai.
