How did the lady from Berhampur come to know of Sai Baba and what prompted her visit to Shirdi?

The story of the lady from Berhampur is a wonderful example of how Sai Baba drew his devotees to him. According to Chapter 28, the lady had never had Baba's direct darshan. However, she had a vivid dream in which Baba appeared at her door asking for khichdi. This vision left a strong impression on her. Later, when her husband, a post officer, was transferred to Akola, the devout couple became eager for Sai's darshan. The wonder of the vision and Sai's extraordinary 'maya' motivated them to plan a journey, and they eventually set out for Shirdi.
