What is the story of the Yoga practitioner and the onions in Chapter 23 of the Sai Satcharitra?

📖 Chapter 23

Chapter 23 recounts the story of a practitioner of Yoga who, despite his deep study of scriptures, could not attain Samadhi. He sought Sai Baba's help but was filled with doubt when he saw Baba eating bread with onions. As described in the chapter, the Yogi thought, "How can this man remove my doubts?" Being omniscient, Sai Baba immediately addressed this unspoken thought by remarking aloud that only those with strong digestion should eat onions. This profound insight startled the Yogi, who then surrendered with true devotion. His doubts were resolved, and he received Baba's blessings, illustrating how faith can overcome intellectual pride.
