What stories and themes does the author preview at the beginning of Chapter 32 of the Sai Satcharitra?

At the beginning of Chapter 32, the author sets the stage by first briefly mentioning the passing of devotees like Vijayanand, Balkaram, Tatya Saheb Noolkar, and Megha. The text then introduces the two main narratives for the chapter. The first is a highly anticipated story that Sai Baba narrated himself about an unexpected and wondrous encounter he had with his Guru in a forest. The second story concerns a woman who intended to fast for three days during her visit, but Baba broke her resolve and had her prepare and eat puranpolis. This second story, as chapter 32 explains, serves to teach the lesson that selfless service, or "wearing out the body for others' sake," is a form of true welfare superior to fasting.
