I heard a story about a woman named Gokhale who visited Shirdi. What was her intention and how did Baba react to it?

Chapter 32 recounts the story of Mrs. Gokhale, who came to Shirdi with a letter from Kelkar. Her mind was firmly set on a personal spiritual goal: to sit at Sai Baba's feet and remain fasting for three consecutive days. This intention was in direct opposition to Baba's own teachings, which prioritized eating before engaging in spiritual contemplation. The text highlights that Baba, being the "inner witness," was already fully aware of her plan before she even arrived. He had even made a prediction to Dada Kelkar that he would not allow his children to go hungry. This illustrates how Baba knew the innermost thoughts of his devotees and would guide them away from what he considered misguided austerities.
