Upon realizing he had broken his vow, Babasaheb Tarkhad took immediate and heartfelt steps to atone for his mistake. As detailed in Chapter 9, his first action was to prostrate himself before Sai Baba's photograph, his heart filled with grief, and directly plead for mercy and forgiveness with tearful eyes. He felt immense shame, calling his failure a 'great sin.' Beyond this personal plea, he also felt helpless and decided to communicate with his son who was in Shirdi. He sent a letter to his son, confessing the 'great error' and asking him to intercede on his behalf by asking Sai Baba for forgiveness and compassion. This demonstrates his deep belief in both Sai's mercy and his son's proximity to the Master.
