Chapter 32 details the incident of a woman who came to Shirdi with the firm intention to have Sai Baba's darshan and remain fasting for three days without food. However, the chapter explains that Baba intervened and broke her resolve. He had her get to work with her hands, specifically to prepare puranpolis. The text states that not only were the puranpolis made, but she was also made to eat them to her heart's content. Through this act, as described in Chapter 32, Baba imparted the lesson that "wearing out the body for others' sake - this blessed act is true welfare," a teaching she was made to understand so she would never forget.
I'm interested in the woman who wanted to fast. What does Chapter 32 say about her and how Sai Baba intervened?
