Can you recount Hemantpant's emotional and spiritual state during his very first darshan of Sai Baba?

Hemantpant's first darshan of Sai Baba was a moment of profound spiritual awakening. As narrated in Chapter 2, after being told to hurry by Tatyasaheb Noolkar, he ran and prostrated in the dust at Baba's feet. The joy he felt was so immense that his mind could not contain it. He felt his eyes had achieved their purpose and his vision was satisfied, having never seen such a figure before. The experience was so powerful that all feelings of hunger and thirst vanished, his senses became still, and he felt he had received Sai's care. He describes this moment as the beginning of a new life for his soul.
