What is the story of the woman who wanted to fast, as mentioned in Chapter 32?

📖 Chapter 32

In Chapter 32, we are introduced to the story of a woman who had a firm resolve to have Sai Baba's darshan and stay in Shirdi for three days while observing a strict fast without food or water. However, the chapter reveals that this plan was altered by Baba himself. In a turn of events, Baba not only made her cook puranpolis but also ensured she ate them to her heart's content, thus breaking her fast. The underlying lesson conveyed in Chapter 32 through this incident is that "wearing out the body for others' sake - this blessed act is true welfare," highlighting the supremacy of service and love over rigid personal austerities.
