How did Sai Baba respond when he learned a devotee was neglecting his father's Shraddha ceremony?

📖 Chapter 4

Sai Baba took direct action when he learned that Bhagwantrao Kshirsagar was neglecting his father's Shraddha. According to the narrative in Chapter 4, Baba considered Bhagwantrao's father a friend. When Bhagwantrao came to Shirdi, Baba confronted him about his lapse in duty. Baba said, 'He never offers food (Naivedya); he keeps me hungry too. He keeps Vitthal hungry too, that’s why I brought him to Shirdi.' Baba stated that he had deliberately drawn Bhagwantrao to Shirdi with the express purpose to 'remind him and put him back to worship,' thereby demonstrating the profound importance he placed on fulfilling these ancestral and devotional obligations.
