The doctor, a Brahmin and a devout worshipper of Ram, had a very firm resolution before coming to Shirdi. He explicitly told his Mamlatdar friend that he would not bow at the feet of Sai Baba, whom he considered a Muslim. As Chapter 12 recounts, he stated, "My mind does not accept bowing at the feet of a Muslim." However, upon entering the Masjid for Darshan, a surprising event occurred. He was the first to prostrate, which amazed his friend. The doctor explained that he did not see Sai Baba, but instead saw the "dark-complexioned form of Ram," his own worshipful deity, and he immediately bowed to that beautiful form.
What was the firm resolution made by the doctor who visited Shirdi with his Mamlatdar friend, and what was the outcome?
