Chapter 41 mentions a dream about Sai visiting for a Holi meal. How does the story of Alli Mohammed and the photograph fulfill this premonition?

As explained in Chapter 41 of the Sai Satcharitra, the arrival of the photograph is the direct fulfillment of the Holi meal dream. The narrator had a dream in which Sai Baba promised to come to his house for a meal on the day of the Holi festival. The chapter then reveals the miraculous way this promise was kept. On the day of Holi, just as the narrator and his companions were about to begin their lunch, Alli Mohammed arrived unexpectedly. He was carrying the very photograph of Sai Baba that is the subject of the story. By bringing the physical image of Sai into the house at that precise moment, Alli Mohammed's action was interpreted as Sai Himself arriving for the meal, thus fulfilling the dream's promise in a wonderfully unexpected and divine manner.
