How does the story of the lady offering khichdi illustrate a devotee's determination and Baba's unique ways?

📖 Chapter 28

The story of the lady and the khichdi, found in Chapter 28, is a powerful illustration of both a devotee's unwavering resolve and Sai Baba's mysterious leelas. Her journey from Akola to Shirdi was undertaken with the sole enthusiasm to offer khichdi, a vow initiated by Baba himself in a dream. When faced with a prolonged delay and the obstacle of the curtain during Baba's mealtime, her eagerness did not waver. The text in Chapter 28 highlights that she did not remain quiet but, "not heeding anyone," moved the curtain with her own hand and made her own entry by her own authority. This act demonstrates how Baba's "maya" could inspire such intense devotion that a devotee would overcome all protocol to fulfill a vow he had placed in their heart.
