How does the tale of the devotee from Berhampur illustrate the concept of Sai's 'maya' and the power of a devotee's resolve?

The story of the lady from Berhampur, as told in Chapter 28, provides a powerful illustration of both Sai's "extraordinary maya" and a devotee's unwavering resolve. Baba's maya is demonstrated when he appears in a dream to a woman in a distant city who had never seen him, asking for a specific food. This act planted a seed of devotion that ultimately drew her to Shirdi. The power of her resolve is showcased when, after traveling from Akola and waiting two weeks, she refuses to be deterred. Faced with the curtain behind which Baba was eating, Chapter 28 explains she boldly moved it aside herself, an act driven by the sheer enthusiasm to fulfill her vow.
