Why did Sai Baba react with such unusual eagerness to the food brought by Khaparde's wife, leading Madhavrao to question his partiality?

Sai Baba's reaction was indeed unusual and prompted questions from his devotees. Chapter 27 describes how when the lady's plate of food arrived, Baba became very eager, pushed up the sleeves of his kafni, and immediately prepared to eat. This was a stark contrast to his usual behavior, as other offerings, even those on silver plates, were often left aside or even thrown away. Madhavrao voiced this confusion, asking Baba about this apparent partiality. Baba explained that his eagerness was not partiality but a result of a deep, long-standing connection. He recounted her past lives and his relationship with her soul, stating, 'let me have two morsels of love in my stomach for happiness and satisfaction,' revealing the spiritual bond behind his actions.
