According to Chapter 31, what was Sai Baba's initial, seemingly contradictory, reaction to the sannyasi Vijayananda, and what does the text suggest about it?

In Chapter 31, after the sannyasi Vijayananda took darshan and sat down, Sai Baba's mood seemingly soured. The text states, "Then Baba's disposition was disturbed; then He said to the assembly there; send away this sannyasi; there is no companionship for work." This reaction was puzzling and caused the sannyasi great distress. However, the narrative provides a clue by noting that the sannyasi was new and "did not know Baba's nature." This suggests that Baba's outwardly harsh words were not to be taken at face value and were likely part of His inscrutable methods for testing devotees or drawing them closer, as the sannyasi ultimately stayed and attained liberation there.
