Can you narrate the story from Chapter 23 about the Yogi who came to Shirdi and initially doubted Sai Baba?

📖 Chapter 23

Chapter 23 of the Sai Satcharitra recounts the story of a practitioner of Yoga who, accompanied by Nanasaheb Chandorkar, visited the Masjid to see Sai Baba. This Yogi, though well-versed in the Yoga Shastras, was unable to achieve Samadhi and hoped Baba's grace would resolve his doubts. However, upon seeing Baba eating bread with onions, a strong misgiving arose in his mind, and he questioned how such a person could help him. Sai Baba, being omniscient, perceived this doubt and remarked, "only those whose digestion is strong should eat onion." This stunned the Yogi, who then surrendered with true devotion, had his doubts cleared, received Udi, and departed happily.
