I read about a woman in Chapter 32 who wanted to fast. What happened to her, and what was the lesson?

According to the account in Chapter 32, a woman came to Shirdi with the firm resolve to have Baba's darshan and fast for three days. However, Sai Baba intervened in her plan. He had her make puranpolis and then made her eat them to her heart's content, thus breaking her fast. The profound lesson from this incident, as explained in the chapter, is that true welfare lies in selfless service and wearing out the body for the sake of others, rather than rigid austerity. Baba made her understand this principle in a way she would never forget, highlighting the virtues of service over mere fasting.
