Could you narrate the story of Kaka Mahajani's non-believing friend, from his decision to visit Shirdi to his first encounter with Sai Baba?

The story, as told in Chapter 35, begins with a friend of Kaka Mahajani who was averse to idol worship but agreed to visit Shirdi out of curiosity. He set strict conditions: he would not bow to anyone, nor would he offer any Dakshina. With this skeptical mindset, he traveled with Kaka from Mumbai to Shirdi. Upon arriving at the mosque, before he could even process the scene, Sai Baba spotted him and called out, 'Why have you come in this manner?' The magical power in Baba's voice was that it sounded exactly like the friend's deceased father. Hearing this familiar and loving tone, the man was astonished and his heart melted. His firm resolve vanished, and he immediately bowed his head at Sai Baba's feet.
