Can you tell me about Dada Kelkar and the time Baba asked him to get meat?

📖 Chapter 38

Chapter 38 recounts an incident involving Ganesh Damodar Kelkar, an elderly and respected devotee whom people called Dada. He was a Brahmin who was perfect in his conduct and had boundless love for Sai Baba. On Ekadashi, a fasting day, Baba gave Dada Kelkar money and ordered him to personally go and get some meat. This order was a novelty and a test for Dada Kelkar, given his Brahmin background and the sanctity of the day. The story is used to illustrate a deeper principle about devotion and obedience to the Guru's command, regardless of how unconventional it may seem.
