How did the devotee from Akola manage to make her offering even though Baba was already behind the curtain for his meal?

Despite arriving to find that Sai Baba had already begun his meal behind the curtains, the lady's devotion and eagerness were so strong that she refused to be delayed any longer. The Shri Sai Satcharitra explains in Chapter 28 that she had a powerful urge and did not remain quiet outside. Rather than waiting, she took matters into her own hands. The text states she did not heed anyone, moved the curtain aside with her own hand, and made her own entry "by her own authority," thus fulfilling the desire of her heart to make the offering.
