How did Babasaheb Tarkhad react when he realized he had forgotten the Naivedya offering?

Babasaheb Tarkhad's reaction was one of immediate and profound remorse. The account in Chapter 9 states that the moment he realized the offering had been missed while sitting at his dining plate, he was filled with regret. He immediately bowed to Sai's image and, with tearful eyes, spoke to Baba. He questioned the 'Maya' or illusion that made him forget such an important duty and acknowledged that a mistake had occurred through him. His heartfelt and emotional apology, asking for quick forgiveness, highlights the depth of his devotion and the pain he felt for his unintentional lapse in service.
