I heard about a woman who tried to fast in Shirdi. What does Chapter 32 say about her story and the moral behind it?

Chapter 32 introduces the story of a woman whose mind was set on visiting Sai Baba and observing a fast for three days without any food. However, the narrative explains that an occasion arose that broke her firm resolve. She was not only prevented from fasting but was also made to prepare and eat puranpolis to her heart's content. As Chapter 32 hints, the lesson behind this incident is that "wearing out the body for others' sake - this blessed act is true welfare." It suggests that selfless service and action can be a higher virtue than the personal austerity of fasting.
