What were the specific past lives of Mrs. Khaparde that Sai Baba recounted to explain his special affection for her?

When asked why he was so partial to the food brought by Mrs. Khaparde, Sai Baba provided a detailed account of her past incarnations to illustrate their deep bond. According to Chapter 27, Baba explained that in a previous birth, she had been a grocer's cow, described as "very milky and plump." After that life, she was born to a gardener, then went to a Kshatriya family, and later became the wife of a grocer. Finally, she was born into a Brahmin family, which was her current life. Baba’s statement, "after a long time, I have seen her," revealed that his special affection was not a whim but a recognition of a soul he had known and loved through many lifetimes.
