Chapter 52 outlines a specific sequence of devotional acts for a pilgrim seeking to calm their afflictions. It recommends that one should first take a holy bath in the Godavari river. Following this purification, the devotee should then take darshan of Sai Baba's Samadhi. The final step in this process is to listen to the Satcharitra, the life story of the Guru. According to this chapter, diligently following this three-part practice—a holy bath, darshan of the Samadhi, and listening to the scripture—will effectively calm the three types of afflictions, indicating the combined power of pilgrimage, sight, and hearing the Guru's fame.
