According to the introduction in Chapter 32, there was a woman who came with the intention to have Baba's darshan and observe a strict fast for three days without food. However, an occasion arose where her firm resolve was broken. The chapter describes how she was made to prepare puranpolis and was then made to eat them to her heart's content. The implied lesson, as stated in Chapter 32, is that true welfare and blessed action lie in service to others—in this case, by making food. Her experience was meant to teach her a profound truth about spiritual practice that she would never forget, valuing selfless action over self-imposed austerity.
I heard there's a story in Chapter 32 about a woman who wanted to fast. What happened to her and what was the lesson?
