How did Sapatnekar react to being repeatedly dismissed by Sai Baba, and what was his ultimate resolve?

Sapatnekar was deeply distressed by Sai Baba's repeated rebukes of "Chal Hat." According to Chapter 48, he felt that while others experienced a "daily Diwali of joy," only he received this harsh treatment. He wondered about his past deeds and sins, even speculating that his initial argumentative nature might be the cause. Despite his distress, which made food and water tasteless and left him sleepless, he made a firm personal determination. Sapatnekar resolved to stay right there in Shirdi with a steady mind until he finally received Baba's grace, refusing to leave disappointed.
