The story, which unfolds in Chapter 40, details two visits. First, a Sanyasi approached Dev, the Mamlatdar, seeking funds for cow protection. Dev asked him to return in a few months due to another ongoing collection. The Sanyasi returned much sooner, about a month later, but this time only requested a meal for himself and two companions. Dev agreed and hosted the three of them, providing a full meal and treating them with great respect and hospitality. Despite this direct service, a 'veil of Maya' prevented Dev from recognizing the Sanyasi as Baba. He remained doubtful and later wrote a letter to a man named Jog, complaining that Baba had not kept his promise to visit.
Can you walk me through the entire interaction between Dev and the Sanyasi who visited him?
