Describe the turning point in Sapatnekar's journey from doubt and distress to complete reverence for Sai Baba.

Sapatnekar's turning point was a two-stage process that transformed his doubt into deep faith. Initially, he was in great distress from Baba's constant rejections. The first stage of his transformation, detailed in Chapter 48, was his resolute decision to persist and approach Baba when He was alone, holding His feet. Baba's response of placing a hand on his head was a moment of grace. The second, and more profound, stage occurred immediately after, when Baba began narrating Sapatnekar's entire life history to a shepherd woman. Hearing his most intimate details, including his son's death, from Baba’s mouth, Sapatnekar was filled with "great wonder." This miraculous display of omniscience etched a "deep respect for Sai’s feet" in his mind, completely dissolving his prior distress and solidifying his reverence.
