Chapter 32 introduces the story of a woman whose mind was set on having Sai Baba's darshan while observing a three-day fast. However, her firm resolve was broken. The chapter explains that she was not only made to cook puranpolis but was also made to eat them to her heart's content. The lesson taught through this experience, as highlighted in Chapter 32, is that "wearing out the body for others' sake - this blessed act is true welfare." This incident was designed to make her understand, in a way she would never forget, that selfless service can be a higher virtue than personal austerities like fasting.
I heard about a woman who wanted to fast but ended up eating puranpolis. What lesson was she taught according to Chapter 32?
