In his son's absence, Babasaheb Tarkhad took on the responsibility of the daily worship himself. As Chapter 9 explains, he began his routine after taking a bath in the early morning. Before starting, he would come before Sai Baba's painted image and pray with a prostration, asking that his service be as devout as his son's and that he be prevented from making any mistakes. The core of this daily worship involved the offering of 'Naivedya'. Specifically, Tarkhad made it a constant rule to offer a piece of sugar candy to Baba's image every day. This devotional practice proceeded without issue for some time, demonstrating his commitment to the promise he made to his son.
