Describe the sequence of events that led Sapatnekar to finally touch Sai Baba's feet.

Feeling scorched by the threefold afflictions and hungry for Sai's darshan, Sapatnekar was in a state of great distress. As described in Chapter 48, he was unable to eat or sleep. Seeing an opportunity when Baba was alone on his cushion, Sapatnekar made a resolution to approach him. With a choked heart, he went forward and held Baba's feet. As he placed his head on them, Baba responded by placing a hand on him. Sapatnekar then began massaging Baba's feet, marking a pivotal moment of connection just before the miraculous conversation with the Dhangar woman began.
