What is the primary obstacle discussed in Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra, and what happens to people who approach Sai Baba with this attitude?

📖 Chapter 35

Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra identifies pride in one's own spiritual path as a most formidable obstacle. It describes how individuals who worship the formless God and are skeptical of saints with form often approach Shirdi with a firm resolve not to bow or offer Dakshina. They view such practices as a mockery of devotion and a sign of diminished saintliness. However, the chapter explains that despite their firm intentions, upon receiving Sai Baba's darshan, their pride completely dissolves. They forget their previous resolve, remain devoted at Sai's feet, and surrender fully, demonstrating the transformative power of His presence as narrated in this chapter.
