How did the different religious beliefs within the Tarkhad family create a point of tension regarding the trip to Shirdi?

The tension within the Tarkhad family arose from the differing devotional practices of the father and son. Chapter 9 explains that the son was a devout follower who performed daily idol worship, a practice he considered vital. In contrast, his father, Babasaheb Tarkhad, was a follower of the Prarthana Samaj, a reformist movement that did not typically emphasize idol worship. This difference created a conflict for the son, who worried about leaving the daily rituals for Sai in the hands of his father. The text notes it was a "great puzzle for the son" how his father would manage the "effort of idol worship." This concern was the main reason for his hesitation to travel, a problem only resolved by his father's sincere promise to perform the rites himself.
