Chapter 32 of the Sai Satcharitra introduces two primary narratives for the reader. The first is a personal account from Sai Baba himself, describing an unexpected and wondrous Guru-darshan he experienced while in a forest. This story is said to grant devotion, faith, and liberation. The second story concerns a woman who resolved to fast for three days but was guided by Baba to cook and eat puranpolis instead, teaching her the value of service. As stated in Chapter 32, the narrator promises that this sequence of stories is "sweeter than nectar" and will generate devotion and love in the listeners while bringing their sorrows to an end.
What are the two main stories that Chapter 32 sets up to narrate, and what is their supposed effect on the listener?
