What was the significance of Sathe's Wada, and what specific promise did Sai Baba make regarding it?

Sathe's Wada held great significance as it was the original camp for pilgrims in Shirdi, serving as the main place for those coming and going. Chapter 4 explains that it was built around a Neem tree and contained a notable niche under a staircase where devotees would sit. Its importance is further highlighted by a promise from Sai Baba's own mouth. Baba stated, 'On Thursdays and Fridays, after smearing the surface with cow-dung at sunset; Whoever burns incense for a moment, Shri Hari will give them happiness.' The text assures us that this is not an exaggeration but a direct quote from Sai, witnessed by people who were still alive when it was written.
