Kaka Mahajani's friend, who was a devotee of the formless and initially averse to idol worship, agreed to visit Shirdi with two specific conditions. As detailed in Chapter 35, he told his friend, "We will never bow our heads, nor provide any Dakshina." However, upon arriving at the mosque, his resolve was instantly broken. Sai Baba greeted him from a distance with sweet words that sounded exactly like his deceased father's voice. The text describes how, upon hearing this charming and familiar tone, the friend was astonished, melted inside, and completely forgot his prior resolve, immediately bowing his head at Baba's feet. This powerful, personal experience completely overrode his intellectual reservations.
Can you describe the experience of Kaka Mahajani's friend when he visited Shirdi, especially regarding the conditions he set beforehand?
