Chapter 32 describes a woman who had a strong desire to have Sai Baba's darshan and intended to stay in Shirdi for three days while fasting without any food. However, this firm resolve was broken by Baba himself. As the chapter narrates, Baba orchestrated events so that her hands were made to work preparing puranpolis, and she was then made to eat them to her heart's content. The lesson Baba imparted, as explained in Chapter 32, was that true welfare lies in "wearing out the body for others' sake." He made her understand this principle about fasting and virtue in a way that she would never forget.
