Chapter 32 mentions a story about a woman who wanted to fast. What happened to her, and what was the lesson?

📖 Chapter 32

The introduction to Chapter 32 outlines the story of a woman who had a strong desire to visit Baba and observe a three-day fast. However, her firm resolve was broken when Baba intervened. He had her prepare puranpolis and then made her eat them to her heart's content. According to Chapter 32, the intended lesson was to show her that selfless service, or "wearing out the body for others' sake," is a blessed act and constitutes true welfare, a principle more profound than the personal virtue gained from fasting.
