Could you tell me the story from Chapter 23 about the Yogi who came to Shirdi seeking help with his meditation?

📖 Chapter 23

Chapter 23 recounts the story of a practitioner of Yoga (Yogabhyasi) who was well-versed in the Yoga Shastras of Patanjali but struggled to achieve Samadhi, or intense meditation, even for a moment. Believing Sai Baba to be a 'King of Yogis,' he traveled to the Masjid with Nanasaheb Chandorkar. The Yogi held a strong hope in his heart that if Baba showed him grace, his doubts would be resolved and he would surely attain Samadhi. However, upon arriving for darshan, the first thing he witnessed was Sai Baba simply eating bread (bhakar) along with onions, a very ordinary human act that contrasted with his expectations.
