Chapter 32 details the story of a woman who visited Shirdi with a strong desire to have Baba's darshan and remain fasting for three days. The chapter explains how this firm resolve was ultimately broken. An occasion arose where she was not only prevented from fasting but was made to cook puranpolis and then eat them to her heart's content. As narrated in Chapter 32, this was to impart a profound lesson that "wearing out the body for others' sake - this blessed act is true welfare." The incident served to make her understand the supreme virtue of service over personal penance.
I heard about a woman who wanted to fast but was made to eat. What does Chapter 32 say about this incident?
