The introduction in Chapter 32 sets up a story about a woman whose mind desired to have Baba's darshan and observe a strict three-day fast. However, the chapter previews how her firm resolve was broken. Baba lovingly intervened and had her not only prepare puranpolis but also eat them to her heart's content. As explained in Chapter 32, this incident serves as a powerful lesson. The core teaching is that 'wearing out the body for others' sake' is a blessed act and constitutes true welfare, which is a form of supreme welfare that surpasses the virtue of mere fasting, a lesson she was made to understand so she would never forget it.
