Can you recount the story of Mrs. Gokhale's visit to Shirdi and her intention to fast?

📖 Chapter 32

Certainly. Chapter 32 describes how a woman named Mrs. Gokhale came to Shirdi with a letter from Kelkar, filled with joy for Sai's darshan. She had made a firm resolve in her mind to sit at Baba's feet and fast for three consecutive days. However, this plan was the opposite of Baba's own daily routine and philosophy. The text reveals that Baba, as the "inner witness," was already aware of her resolution. He had even made a prophetic statement to Dada Kelkar earlier, questioning, "In this Shimga (Holi) festival, will my children remain hungry? How can I let them remain so?" This demonstrates Baba's omniscience and his proactive stance against his devotees undertaking such austerities.
