How did Sai Baba initially treat Sapatnekar, and what was Sapatnekar's reaction?

Initially, Sai Baba repeatedly rebuffed a devotee named Sapatnekar with the phrase "Chal Hat" (Go away) whenever he tried to bow. This caused Sapatnekar great distress, making him wonder about his past deeds and why Baba was angry only with him while showing love to others. He felt that while others experienced a "daily Diwali of joy," his forehead was marked only with rejection. As detailed in Shri Sai Satcharitra Chapter 48, despite his anguish and feeling that his karma had reached its peak, Sapatnekar made a firm resolution to stay right there with a steady mind until he received Baba's grace.
