Chapter 23 of the Sai Satcharitra recounts the story of a practitioner of Yoga who, despite his deep study of the Yoga Shastras, could not achieve Samadhi. He came to Baba hoping the "King of Yogis" could help him. However, upon seeing Baba eating bread with onions, a strong doubt arose in his mind, questioning how such a person could clear his doubts. As Chapter 23 explains, the omniscient Sai Baba immediately perceived this thought and remarked, "Nana, only those whose digestion is strong should eat onion. One who has the strength to digest it may eat onion freely." This profound statement startled the Yogi, who realized Baba's omniscience. His doubts vanished, he surrendered with true devotion, and ultimately left with a happy mind after receiving Baba's blessings.
