According to Chapter 32, what lesson did Sai Baba teach the woman who wanted to fast for three days?

📖 Chapter 32

In an incident previewed in Chapter 32, Sai Baba imparts a powerful lesson about the nature of service and devotion. A woman arrived with the firm resolve to have Baba's darshan and remain fasting for three days straight. However, Baba lovingly orchestrated a situation where her resolve was broken. As Chapter 32 explains, he had her make puranpolis and then eat them to her heart's content. Through this act, Baba taught her the profound principle that 'wearing out the body for others' sake - this blessed act is true welfare,' demonstrating that selfless service can be a higher form of devotion than rigid personal austerities.
