Why did Sai Baba continue the practice of begging for food throughout his life, according to Chapter 9?

According to the teachings in Chapter 9, Sai Baba's habit of begging for food, which he followed until the very end of his life, was not for his own needs but for the spiritual benefit of his followers. The text explains that this practice was undertaken for the welfare of the devotees and specifically for the removal of the ‘Panchasuna’ and other sins. By accepting alms, Baba was performing an act of grace that purified the households of those who gave, demonstrating that his actions were always aimed at the spiritual upliftment of others.
