How does Chapter 41 connect the story of Sai's promised Holi meal with the arrival of His portrait?

Chapter 41 masterfully links two separate events to show Sai's divine play. The chapter first reminds the reader of a previous story where Sai gave a dream, stating, "On a Holi festival day, I am coming to your house for a meal today." It then reveals how this promise was fulfilled in an unexpected way. According to the narrative in Chapter 41, a man named Alli Mohammed arrived with a physical portrait of Sai Baba at the exact peak moment when the narrator and others were about to sit for their Holi lunch. The arrival of the photo, which is a visual representation of Sai, at that precise time is presented as the fulfillment of Sai's promise to be present for the meal, delighting the narrator and demonstrating Baba's miraculous ability to fulfill desires.
