What is the significance of the Udi Prasad given by Sai Baba?

The Udi Prasad from Sai Baba holds multiple layers of significance. As detailed in Chapter 35, receiving the Udi along with a blessing serves as Baba's explicit permission to depart from Shirdi. Attempting to leave without this permission is said to invite obstacles and remorse, as Baba's will governs all arrivals and departures. Furthermore, the Udi is a powerful tool for overcoming troubles. Its influence is described as being able to manifest when one has faith, and it is considered a tangible gift that accompanies Baba's grace and blessings, capable of removing suffering as seen in various experiences.
