What specific spiritual benefits could a person gain from visiting Shirdi and being in Sai Baba's presence?

Chapter 4 details numerous spiritual rewards for devotees. The mere sight (Darshan) of Sai Baba is considered a form of Yoga practice. Simply conversing with him was said to wash away all sins. The text highlights physical service, stating that massaging His feet is as purifying as a bath in the sacred Triveni river confluence. Partaking of the water that washed his feet (Tirtha) was believed to uproot worldly desires. Furthermore, his command was considered as authoritative as Vedic scripture, and receiving his Udi-Prasad was a holy and sanctifying act, making the spiritual path easy and accessible.
