Analyze the reasons behind Dev's inability to recognize Sai Baba during the Udyapan, as described in the source text.

According to Chapter 40, 'Maya' and misinterpretation were central to Dev's failure to recognize Sai Baba. The text explicitly states that 'his previous purpose spread a veil of Maya' over Dev, causing him to see the disguised Baba as merely 'some guest who has come to get a meal.' This divine illusion was compounded by Dev's own misinterpretation. He later rationalized that he was confused because the Sanyasi had previously appeared to collect funds for cow protection, an unrelated matter that occurred before the Udyapan invitation was even extended to Sai. Dev himself admitted he 'forgot to pay attention' to Baba's specific promise to come with 'two others.' It was this combination of a divine veil and Dev's clouded human judgment that led to the misunderstanding.
