Chapter 12 introduces a new story. Can you tell me about the person who is introduced and the circumstances of their arrival in Shirdi?

Yes, Chapter 12 sets the stage for a new narrative by introducing a man from Nashik. He is described as a "ritualistic, orthodox Agnihotri (keeper of the sacred fire)" with the surname 'Mule'. According to the text, his arrival in Shirdi was not a casual event but occurred due to the "strength of his past merits." The author hints at a deeper purpose, stating that the man's original intention was different from what actually happened, but this twist of fate allowed him to gain the benefit of visiting Shirdi and seeing his Guru. The chapter emphasizes that one cannot even stay in Shirdi for a moment without such accumulated merit.
