Who did Ratanji turn to for advice about not having a son, and what was he told to do?

In his deep distress, Ratanji confided in someone he had great faith in: Das Ganu. As detailed in Chapter 14, Ratanji revealed the secret sorrow of his heart to him. Das Ganu gave him direct and hopeful advice, saying, "Go to Shirdi; you will obtain your heart's desire." He instructed Ratanji to seek Sai Baba's darshan, prostrate at His feet, and tell Baba his secret from beginning to end. Das Ganu expressed profound confidence in Baba's divine power, stating that "Baba's handiwork is inconceivable" and that by surrendering to Him, Ratanji's wish would be fulfilled. Ratanji accepted this advice and made a resolution to travel to Shirdi.
