According to Chapter 4, Sai Baba was quite direct in his response to Bhagwantrao Kshirsagar's negligence. Baba, who considered Bhagwantrao's father a friend, revealed that he had purposefully brought the son to Shirdi. He admonished Bhagwantrao by stating, "He never offers food (Naivedya); he keeps me hungry too. He keeps Vitthal hungry too." Baba's intention was clear; he wanted to remind Bhagwantrao of his spiritual duties that had been abandoned after his father's passing, which included performing the Shraddha (death anniversary) and continuing the worship and food offerings to the family's Vitthal idol. Baba explicitly said his goal was to "put him back to worship."
What was Sai Baba's reaction when he learned that Bhagwantrao Kshirsagar had neglected his father's Shraddha ceremony and Vitthal worship?
