How did Sai Baba react to the sannyasi from Madras, and why was this initial interaction so perplexing for the visitor?

According to Chapter 31, Sai Baba's initial reaction to the sannyasi Vijayananda was startling and confusing. After the sannyasi had taken darshan and was sitting peacefully, Baba's mood suddenly changed. He addressed the crowd, saying, "send away this sannyasi; there is no companionship for work." For Vijayananda, who had traveled a long way to see the famous saint, this command was deeply distressing. The chapter explicitly notes that because the sannyasi was new and did not know Baba's nature, he was heartbroken and bewildered by this seemingly unwelcoming dismissal. He couldn't comprehend the reason behind Baba's words, which stood in stark contrast to the peace he had felt just moments before.
