The act of giving Udi was rich with spiritual meaning. According to Chapter 33, it served as a powerful reminder of the impermanent nature of existence. The text teaches that this worldly life is like Udi and that the physical body is perishable, destined to fall like 'water on a lotus leaf.' By giving Udi, Baba encouraged the renunciation of pride in the body and urged devotees to contemplate the falsity of the world, which is likened to a temporary 'game of Rangoli made of ash,' thereby realizing the ultimate truth.
