How does the narrative of Mrs. Gokhale's intended fast demonstrate both Sai Baba's omniscience and his core philosophy regarding food and devotion?

The story of Mrs. Gokhale in Chapter 32 powerfully demonstrates both Sai Baba's divine knowledge and his practical spiritual advice. His omniscience is revealed when he preemptively tells Dada Kelkar, 'How can I let them remain so? Then what am I needed for?' referring to his children being hungry, even before Mrs. Gokhale arrived with her plan to fast. This foreknowledge, as the chapter notes, shows 'Sainath knows everything.' This event then serves to reinforce his core philosophy that devotion cannot flourish on an empty stomach, as her resolve to fast was the opposite of his teaching that the soul must be pacified with food before God can be realized.
