According to the account in Chapter 35, Kaka Mahajani's friend, who was a devotee of the formless, established two firm conditions before his trip. He stated, 'We will never bow our heads, nor provide any Dakshina.' However, he failed to adhere to his own rules. The moment he heard Sai Baba speak in a tone that was a perfect imitation of his late father's voice, he was so emotionally overwhelmed that he 'melted inside' and completely forgot his prior resolve. In that instant, he bowed his head at Baba's feet, breaking the first of his two conditions.
What were the specific conditions Kaka Mahajani's friend set before agreeing to visit Shirdi, and did he ultimately adhere to them?
