How does Chapter 41 connect the arrival of Sai's portrait to a previous story about a Holi festival meal?

Chapter 41 explicitly links the story of the portrait to a prior event. The narrator recalls a dream in which Sai Baba promised, "On a Holi festival day, I am coming to your house for a meal today." This chapter reveals the miraculous fulfillment of that promise. It explains that the storyteller, Alli Mohammed, arrived with the physical portrait of Sai Baba at the precise moment the narrator and others were about to begin their Holi lunch. The arrival of the photo, which is a form of Sai Himself, at that exact time is presented as the 'clear Leela' or divine play that fulfilled the heart's desire expressed in the earlier dream, making the narrator 'delighted.'
