When Babasaheb Tarkhad realized he had forgotten the offering, his reaction was one of profound and immediate remorse. As Chapter 9 recounts, the moment of realization came when he sat down to eat and the customary Prasad of sugar was not served. He was instantly "filled with remorse" and, with tearful eyes, bowed to Sai's image, questioning how Baba could have let him forget. He did not view it as a simple mistake but as a "great sin," stating, "I have failed, I have failed, I am shameless." His heart choked with grief, he prostrated at the feet of the photograph, begging for mercy and compassion from the "Cloud of Mercy."
