Chapter 41 mentions a connection to a previous story about a Holi festival. How does this chapter explain the link and the 'miracle' that occurred?

Chapter 41 explicitly connects its narrative to a prior event. It reminds the reader of a dream in which Sai Baba promised the narrator, "On a Holi festival day, I am coming to your house for a meal today." The chapter then frames the subsequent story as the miraculous fulfillment of this promise. The miracle, as described in Chapter 41, was the timing. Exactly on the day of Holi, at the very peak moment when the narrator was about to sit for lunch, Alli Mohammed arrived unexpectedly with Sai Baba's physical portrait. This event is presented as a clear divine play, or Leela, demonstrating how Sai fulfills the heart's desires at the precise, perfect time, often in surprising ways.
