The text mentions Babasaheb Tarkhad was a follower of the Prarthana Samaj. How did this belief system create a problem for his son?

Babasaheb Tarkhad's affiliation with the Prarthana Samaj created a significant dilemma for his son regarding the continuity of his devotional practices. As Chapter 9 explains, the son's worship was centered on a photograph of Sai and involved daily rituals like offering Naivedya, which is a form of idol worship. The son was deeply concerned about this, as the text notes it was a "great puzzle for the son" how it would be right to give the "effort of idol worship" to his father, a follower of the Prarthana Samaj. This implies that the principles of the Prarthana Samaj were likely not aligned with such ritualistic, image-based worship, causing the son to doubt if his father could or should perform the rites correctly and with the proper sentiment.
