Can you tell me about the woman who wanted to fast in Shirdi and what Baba's reaction was?

Certainly. Chapter 32 recounts the story of a woman named Gokhale who arrived in Shirdi with a letter from Kelkar. She had made a firm resolution in her mind to fast for three days while at Baba's feet. This plan was directly opposite to Baba's own philosophy. As the 'inner witness,' Sai Maharaj was already aware of her intention before she even arrived. In fact, he had made a prediction to Dada Kelkar, saying he would not let his 'children' remain hungry during the Shimga festival. When Mrs. Gokhale came for darshan, Baba, knowing everything in her heart, gave her an instruction, demonstrating his principle that fasting was not the way to approach him.
