Can you describe the turning point in Sapatnekar's experience, when he went from despair to receiving a sign of grace from Baba?

The turning point for Sapatnekar occurred when he was at his lowest, feeling very distressed, unable to eat or sleep. As detailed in Chapter 48, he saw an opportunity when Sai Baba was alone on his cushion. Making a firm resolution, Sapatnekar approached with a choked heart and held Baba's feet. As he placed his head on Baba's feet, the immediate result was that Baba, who had previously been rebuking him, placed his hand on him. This moment of physical contact and acceptance marked a significant shift from rejection to grace, happening just before the miraculous conversation that would further deepen his faith.
