Chapter 28 recounts the lady's determined act of devotion. After her journey from Akola to Shirdi, which was undertaken solely with the enthusiasm to offer khichdi, she found that on the fifteenth day, Baba was already taking his meal behind a curtain. The text states that normally, no one would go inside at this time. However, her eagerness was so great that it could not remain unfulfilled. Not heeding anyone, she took matters into her own hands. The Satcharitra describes how she moved the curtain "with her own hand" and made her own entry "by her own authority," thus fulfilling her heartfelt desire to make the offering directly to Baba.
How did the lady from Akola manage to offer her khichdi to Sai Baba when he was already having his meal behind a curtain?
