Chapter 23 recounts the story of a practitioner of Yoga (Yogabhyasi) who came for Sai Baba's darshan. This man was well-versed in the Yoga Shastras of Patanjali but struggled to achieve Samadhi, or intense meditation, despite his knowledge. He came to Shirdi with Nanasaheb Chandorkar, believing that Sai Baba, as a 'King of Yogis,' could grant him the grace to overcome his spiritual block and achieve Samadhi. However, upon arriving at the Masjid, he was surprised to see Baba engaged in the very ordinary act of eating bread (bhakar) with onions, which was not what he expected from a great spiritual master.
Can you tell me about the Yogi who visited Sai Baba in Chapter 23? What was he hoping for and what did he find?
