The lady's primary motivation for her journey from Akola to Shirdi was to offer khichdi, a resolve born from a dream. After fourteen days passed with her offering unaccepted, she grew impatient. As Chapter 28 recounts, on the fifteenth day, she arrived as Baba was already eating behind a curtain. Ordinarily, no one would interrupt, but her eagerness to fulfill her vow was too great. The text explains that she did not remain quiet, and not heeding anyone, she moved the curtain with her own hand to make her entry and fulfill her desire, demonstrating the power of her devotional enthusiasm.
Why did the lady from Akola disregard the custom of not entering behind the curtain while Baba was eating?
