Chapter 23 recounts the story of a practitioner of Yoga (Yogabhyasi) who visited the Masjid with Nanasaheb Chandorkar. This yogi was well-versed in the Yoga Shastras of Patanjali but struggled to achieve Samadhi (intense meditation) despite his knowledge. Believing that "Maharaj Sai is a King of Yogis," he held an intent in his heart that if Sai Baba showed him grace, his doubts would be resolved and he would surely attain Samadhi. However, upon arriving for darshan, he was surprised to find Sai Baba engaged in the very mundane act of eating bread (bhakar) with onions.
Can you tell me the story of the Yogi who came to see Sai Baba in Chapter 23? What was he hoping for?
