Why did Sai Baba continue the practice of begging for food, as explained in Chapter 9?

As detailed in Chapter 9, Sai Baba's practice of begging for food was not for his own sustenance but was a profound act for the spiritual welfare of his devotees. He maintained this habit until the very end of his life. The text explicitly states that this was done for the removal of the ‘Panchasuna’—the five types of sins that can occur in a household—and other transgressions of his followers. By begging, Baba was symbolically taking on their karmic burdens. This act was a manifestation of his mercy and a practical lesson that God resides in all beings, reinforcing the idea that serving any being is serving God.
