How did Sai Baba remind Bhagwantrao Kshirsagar about his family's forgotten tradition of Vitthal worship?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 4

The story of Bhagwantrao Kshirsagar, found in Chapter 4, beautifully illustrates Sai Baba's respect for Vitthal worship. Bhagwantrao's father had been a great devotee of Vitthal, but after his passing, the family worship and food offerings (Naivedya) had ceased. When Bhagwantrao came to Shirdi, Baba, who referred to his father as a friend, revealed that He had pulled Bhagwantrao there for a specific reason. Baba stated that Bhagwantrao was not only keeping Vitthal hungry by neglecting the worship but was also keeping Baba hungry. Baba explicitly said, 'Now I will remind him and put him back to worship,' thus gently guiding his friend's son back to his spiritual duties.
