How did Sapatnekar's feelings and actions change from when he was being rebuked by Baba to the moment Baba gave him assurance?

Sapatnekar's emotional journey, as chronicled in Chapter 48, is one of profound transformation from despair to elation. Initially, he was dejected and confused by Baba's repeated "Chal Hat" rebukes, leading him to question his own past karma. His distress was so great that he lost his appetite and sleep. However, his firm resolve to receive Baba's grace led him to grasp His feet. After hearing Baba narrate his life story and then promise him a son, Sapatnekar's despair vanished. Hearing Baba’s sweet, encouraging words, his eyes filled with tears of joy. The text states that the eight-fold emotions (Ashtabhav) welled up within him, and he lovingly washed Baba’s feet with these tears.
