How does Chapter 41 connect the arrival of Sai's photograph to a previous dream or promise?

Chapter 41 explicitly links the story of the photograph's arrival to a prior event. The narrator recalls a dream in which Sai Baba made a specific promise, saying, "On a Holi festival day, I am coming to your house for a meal today." The chapter then frames the subsequent narrative as the fulfillment of this very promise. As detailed in Chapter 41, Alli Mohammed unexpectedly brought the portrait to the narrator's house on the day of the Holi festival, arriving at the "very peak moment" just as they were about to sit for lunch. This timing is presented not as a coincidence but as a humorous and clear Leela (divine play), demonstrating how Sai fulfills His devotee's heart's desire in a miraculous and timely manner.
