How did Dev's mental state and perception of the Sanyasi change by the end of the meal?

By the end of the meal, Dev's perception of the Sanyasi had completely transformed due to a state of delusion. Initially, he was suspicious of the Sanyasi's early return, but this feeling faded. Chapter 40 explains that the Sanyasi's original purpose of collecting money became obscured by a "veil of Maya." This delusion strengthened in Dev's mind, causing him to entirely forget the initial request for a donation. Instead, his mind became fixed on the idea that the Sanyasi was simply a guest who had come to get a meal, and he focused solely on his duties as a host.
