What difficulties did the devout lady encounter when trying to offer khichdi to Sai Baba, and how did she overcome them?

After being drawn to Shirdi by a vision, a devout lady's primary vow was to offer khichdi naivedya to Baba. However, as Chapter 28 recounts, fourteen days passed without her being able to make the offering, which she disliked as it was a prolonged delay in her resolved vow. On the fifteenth day, she arrived with the khichdi only to find that Baba had already begun his meal behind a curtain. It was customary that no one would go inside during this time. Unwilling to let her vow remain unfulfilled, the story in Chapter 28 highlights her immense determination. She did not heed anyone, moved the curtain with her own hand, and entered 'by her own authority' to finally offer the khichdi.
