I'm confused about why Baba seemed to show partiality towards one devotee's food offering. Can you explain the reason he gave for his eagerness?

This is a wonderful question that touches upon a moment when Madhavrao questioned Baba's actions. While other, sometimes more valuable, offerings were left aside, Baba showed great eagerness for a particular lady's plate. As recounted in Chapter 27, when asked about this apparent partiality, Baba explained it was due to a connection from a past life. He mentioned that in a previous birth, she was a grocer's cow and that he had seen her again after a long time. He stated he wanted to eat "two morsels of love" for his own happiness and satisfaction. This reveals that it wasn't the food itself, but the love and history behind the offering that mattered to him.
