Chapter 23 introduces a practitioner of Yoga (Yogabhyasi) who came for Sai Baba's darshan accompanied by Nanasaheb Chandorkar. This yogi was highly learned, having thoroughly studied the Yoga Shastras of Patanjali. Despite his knowledge, he was unable to achieve Samadhi (intense meditation) for even a moment. He held a specific intent in his heart when visiting Baba, whom he considered a "King of Yogis." He believed that if Sai showed him grace, his doubts would be removed and he would surely achieve Samadhi. Upon his arrival, he saw Baba eating a simple meal of bread (bhakar) and onions.
Can you tell me about the Yogi who visited Baba in Chapter 23? What was his background and what did he hope to achieve?
