What was Sai Baba's daily practice regarding the Udi, and when would he give it to his devotees?

According to Chapter 33 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba's daily practice involved maintaining a sacred fire, or Dhuni. He would purchase firewood, offer the dry logs to this fire, and the resulting sacred ash was known as Udi. This chapter explains that Baba would distribute this Udi to his devotees for various reasons. It was a well-known practice for Baba to give Udi to devotees as they asked for permission to leave Shirdi and return to their villages. Furthermore, he would give Udi to those in Shirdi in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, ensuring that no one was sent away empty-handed.
