Can you describe the journey and emotional state of the sannyasi Vijayananda as detailed in Chapter 31?

πŸ“– Chapter 31

Chapter 31 introduces a sannyasi from Madras named Vijayananda, who embarked with great enthusiasm on a journey to Mansarovar. His path led him to Shirdi, drawn by Sai Baba's reputation. His emotional state, as described in the chapter, was a rollercoaster. He first became dejected and worried after Swami Somdevji informed him of the hardships of the onward journey. His distress deepened when Baba, in a disturbed mood, told the assembly to send him away. However, as Chapter 31 narrates, his dismay turned to awe and devotion as he witnessed the intense worship in the masjid. Even after receiving a letter about his critically ill mother, his newfound devotion was so strong that he resolved not to leave without Baba's permission.
