Describe Babasaheb Tarkhad's emotional reaction upon realizing he had failed in his promise to offer Naivedya.

Upon realizing his mistake, Babasaheb Tarkhad was overwhelmed with intense guilt and remorse. Chapter 9 vividly describes his reaction not as a simple lapse in memory but as a profound spiritual failure. He considered it a "great sin" and was filled with repentance. He immediately went to Sai Baba's photograph, prostrated himself, and with tearful eyes begged for forgiveness. His heart was choked with grief as he pleaded for mercy. So great was his distress that he felt compelled to write a letter to his son in Shirdi, confessing his "great error" and asking his son to seek forgiveness from Baba on his behalf, showcasing the depth of his sincerity and repentance.
