Chapter 23 narrates the story of a practitioner of Yoga (Yogabhyasi) who, despite being thoroughly studied in the Yoga Shastras of Patanjali, was unable to achieve Samadhi (intense meditation). He accompanied Nanasaheb Chandorkar to the Masjid, holding a specific intent in his heart: he believed that Sai Baba, being a "King of Yogis," could grace him with the experience of Samadhi and resolve his spiritual doubts. However, upon taking Sai's darshan, his expectation of a mystical yogic display was met with the very mundane sight of Baba eating bread (bhakar) along with onions, a simple human act that challenged his preconceived notions.
Can you tell me about the yoga practitioner who came to see Baba in Chapter 23? What was he seeking and what did he observe?
