Describe the depth of Babasaheb Tarkhad's remorse after he realized he had forgotten the Naivedya. What immediate actions did he take?

Babasaheb Tarkhad's reaction to his mistake was not one of simple regret but of profound and agonizing remorse. Chapter 9 describes that at the very moment he realized his error at the dining plate, he was "filled with remorse." He immediately bowed to Sai's image with tearful eyes, viewing his lapse not as a mere mistake but a "great sin" that brought him to "great repentance." His heart was "choked with grief" as he prostrated and called himself shameless, begging for mercy. His immediate actions were twofold: first, he prayed fervently for forgiveness directly to Sai's photograph. Second, feeling completely helpless, he wrote a letter to his son in Shirdi, confessing the "great error" and pleading with his son to ask Sai Baba for forgiveness on his behalf, seeking the "hand of protection" for his poor servant.
