Bapusaheb Buti's emotions underwent a significant shift. Initially, he was hopeful and pious, seeking Baba's permission before starting any work on the Murlidhar temple in his mansion. When Baba fell seriously ill, Buti's hope turned to profound anxiety and regret, as detailed in Chapter 39. He became uneasy, wondering, "What will become of this mansion now?" He lamented the lakhs of rupees spent, fearing the entire project would be useless if Baba's feet never touched the temple. His heart was troubled by the thought that without Baba, the mansion and the Murlidhar idol were meaningless. This deep distress highlights his devotion, as his concern was not for the financial loss but for the loss of the spiritual purpose he envisioned for the wada.
