Can you summarize the sequence of events that led to Sapatnekar's mind being filled with respect for Sai Baba's feet?

Certainly. Sapatnekar's journey began with a period of intense trial, where Sai Baba would constantly dismiss him with "Chal Hat." This caused him great anguish and made him question his worthiness. As recounted in Chapter 48 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, this suffering led him to make a steadfast resolution to stay in Shirdi until he received Baba's grace. Taking an opportunity when Baba was alone, he approached and held his feet. At that moment, a Dhangar woman arrived, and Baba began talking to her. The miracle unfolded as Baba narrated Sapatnekar's entire life story through this conversation, which left Sapatnekar shocked and filled with wonder, etching deep respect for Sai's feet in his mind.
