What's the significance of Sai Baba's Udi? Is it just for healing?

According to Chapter 33 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, the significance of Sai Baba's Udi goes far beyond simple healing. It is described as 'supremely auspicious' and is said to have a secret, spiritual, and emotional meaning. The text explains that Sai Baba is the 'helmsman of the path of spiritual welfare,' and He uses the Udi to grant spiritual progress while simultaneously fulfilling worldly interests. While stories like the healing of scorpion stings demonstrate its power to alleviate physical suffering and worldly troubles, its ultimate purpose is to foster devotion and guide devotees on their spiritual journey, increasing their faith and love at Sai's feet.
