So much about the spiritual implication of Udi.  It had also its material significance.  It conferred health, prosperity, freedom from anziety, and many other worldly gains.  So, the Udi had helped us to gain both our ends-material as well as spiritual.

It has been found out, that the Udi cured many physical and mental maladies, but Baba wanted to repeat into the devotee's ears the principles of discrimination between the Unreal and the Real, non-attachment for the Unreal, by His Udi and Dakshina.  The former (Udi) taught us discrimination and the later (Dakshina) taught us non-attachment.  Unless we have these two things, it is not possible for us to cross over the sea of the mundane existence.

Baba also taught by the Udi that the Brahman is the only Reality, and the universe is ephermeral, and that no one in this world, be he a son, father or wife, is really ours.  We come here (in this world) alone, and we have to go out from here alone.

Baba taught by His Udi that all the visible phenomena in the universe are as transient as the ash.  Our bodies composed of wood or matter of the five elements, will fall down, after all their enjoyments are over, and be reduced to ashes.  In order to remind the devotees of the fact, that their bodies will be reduced to ashes, baba distributed Udi to them.

Generally, we see that people have a tendency to scandalize others, un-necessarily; and this brings on hatred and ill-will.  Saints see scandal, in another light.  They say that there are various ways of cleansing or removing dirt, viz. by means of earth, water and soap etc., but a scandal-monger had got a way of his own.  He removes the dirt (faults) of others by his tongue; so in a way he obliges the person, whom he reviles and for this he is to be thanked.

Baba Asked many to remember His name and to surrender to Him.  But to those, who wanted to know who they were ('Who am I enquiry).  He advised Shravanam (study) and Mananam (meditation).  To some, He advised remembering God's name, to others hearing His Leelas, to some worship of His Feet,  to others reading and studying Adhyatma Ramayan, Jnaneshwari and other sacred scriptures.  Some, He made sit near His Feet, some He sent to Khandoba's temple, and some He advised the repetition of the thousand names of Vishnu; and some the study of Chhandogya Upanishad and Gita.  There was neither any limit, nor any restriction to His instructions.  To some, He gave them in person.  To others, by visions in dreams.

He, who trusts Him entirely, hears and expounds His Leelas, and does not think of anything else, is sure to attain self-realization.
