What happened when Kaka Mahajani's skeptical friend finally met Sai Baba? How did Baba get him to break his promise not to bow?

When Kaka Mahajani's friend, who had resolved not to bow, first entered the mosque in Shirdi, a remarkable event occurred. Chapter 35 explains that as soon as he set foot on the step, Sai Baba saw him from a distance and called out with sweet words, "Why have you come in this manner?" The friend was instantly astonished because the tone and vocal style Baba used were a perfect imitation of his own deceased father. Hearing words that sounded exactly like his father's speech, the friend was deeply moved and "melted inside." In that moment, he completely forgot his previous resolve and spontaneously bowed his head at Baba's feet.
