Chapter 9 reveals a difference in religious practices within the Tarkhad family. The son was a devout follower who practiced daily idol worship, making offerings to Sai Baba's photograph. In contrast, his father, Babasaheb Tarkhad, was a follower of the Prarthana Samaj, a reformist movement that did not typically involve idol worship. This difference created a potential conflict when the son needed someone to continue his rituals. The conflict was resolved through love and respect rather than religious debate. The son made a direct request, and the father, despite his own leanings, lovingly agreed to perform the worship and offer Naivedya, demonstrating that his commitment to his son's peace of mind and devotion was paramount.
