Chapter 41 masterfully links two separate events to show Sai Baba's divine orchestration. The chapter begins by reminding the reader of a previously told story where Baba appeared in a dream on Holi, promising, 'I am coming to your house for a meal today.' It then introduces the main narrative about the unexpected arrival of a physical portrait of Baba. The connection is explicitly made when the author reveals that it was Alli Mohammed who brought the very portrait on that same Holi festival day, right as they were about to sit for lunch. This timing is presented as a miraculous fulfillment of the dream promise. As Chapter 41 explains, the photo arrived at that 'very peak moment,' which is described as a humorous and wonderful 'Leela' or divine play.
How does Chapter 41 connect the story of the Holi festival dream to the arrival of Sai Baba's photograph?
