After indirectly revealing his knowledge, how did Baba directly address and console Sapatnekar about the loss of his son?

As Sapatnekar was contemplating Baba's nature as a "great knower of the inner self," Baba directly addressed his unspoken grief. According to Chapter 48, Baba pointed his finger at him and playfully exclaimed, "He says I killed his child; he is accusing me of this!" Baba then refuted the notion that He kills people's children and promised to bring a son to Sapatnekar's lap, just as He had given back the dead Ramdas to another lady. Placing his hand on Sapatnekar's head, Baba encouraged him, saying, "These feet are very ancient; your worry is gone; have full faith in me, and you will soon be successful." This direct assurance filled Sapatnekar with tears of joy.
