What was Sai Baba's daily routine concerning Udi, and what did it signify for devotees leaving Shirdi, as mentioned in Chapter 33?

According to Chapter 33 of the Shri Sai Satcharita, giving Udi (sacred ash) was a constant, daily practice for Sai Baba. The text explains that he would not send anyone away empty-handed, distributing Udi in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This Udi was created from the ash of firewood logs that Baba offered into his sacred Dhuni. For devotees preparing to leave Shirdi, this act held special importance. This chapter states that when a devotee asked for permission to return to their village, Baba giving them Udi was the signal of his true consent, a practice known to all. This blessing made the departing devotees feel enthusiastic about their journey.
