What was Babasaheb Tarkhad's reaction when he realized he had forgotten to offer Naivedya?

When Babasaheb Tarkhad realized he had forgotten the Naivedya, his reaction was one of extreme remorse and repentance. The account in Chapter 9 details how he was filled with grief, viewing the oversight not as a simple mistake but as a "great sin." He immediately bowed to Sai Baba's image with tearful eyes, begging for forgiveness and lamenting how he could have been made to forget. Feeling utterly helpless and shameless, he prostrated at the photograph's feet, choked with grief. His repentance was so profound that he promptly sent a letter to his son in Shirdi, asking him to plead with Sai Baba for forgiveness on his behalf.
