Can you describe the internal conflict and change of heart experienced by the friend who accompanied Kaka Mahajani to Shirdi?

A friend of Kaka Mahajani, who was prone to doubts and initially against idol worship, decided to visit Shirdi with two firm conditions: he would not bow, and he would not give Dakshina. Chapter 35 explains that his visit was driven by "clinical curiosity." When he arrived at the mosque, Sai Baba spoke to him in a voice that was a perfect imitation of his deceased father's. Hearing the words "Why have you come, sir," in that specific tone, the friend was deeply amazed and moved. The source material from Chapter 35 details how this powerful, personal experience made him forget his prior resolutions, and he spontaneously bowed his head at Baba's feet, his skepticism melting away.
