Chapter 12 sets up a story about a visitor to Shirdi. Who is this person and what were the circumstances of his visit?

Chapter 12 introduces a new narrative that it calls a "very delightful story" meant to illustrate the greatness of the Guru. The person at the center of this story is a ritualistic, orthodox Agnihotri (a keeper of the sacred fire) from Nashik, whose surname is Mule. The text explains that his visit to Shirdi was not a simple trip but occurred due to the "strength of his past merits." It emphasizes that one cannot stay in Shirdi for even a moment without such merit. His journey was a fortunate coincidence, as his original intention was different, but destiny led him to Shirdi for a rare meeting with Sai Baba.
