Chapter 32 introduces the story of a woman whose mind desired to have Baba's darshan and stay for three days while fasting. However, her firm resolve was broken. The chapter explains that she was made to prepare puranpolis and was then made to eat them to her heart's content. This incident serves as a lesson, with the text stating, "Wearing out the body for others' sake - this blessed act is true welfare." This suggests that Baba taught her a deeper spiritual lesson about selfless service being a higher virtue than her intended personal austerity of fasting.
Can you tell me about the woman who wanted to fast, as described in Chapter 32?
