How does the story of Karnik's encounter in Nashik illustrate the importance of acting on good impulses?

The story of Karnik illustrates the principle of nurturing one's initial good inclinations without letting the mind's hesitation take over. According to Chapter 33, when Karnik met Narsing Maharaj at the Kala Rama temple, he had an unexpected encounter where the saint grabbed his wrist and demanded a Rupee. Karnik's first reaction was joy, feeling as if Sai himself was accepting the offering. The text then reflects on this, noting that the mind is full of 'resolves and counter-resolves' and advises that the initial good impulse that arises should be maintained and nurtured, as it is the most beneficial path. This shows that we should act on our positive intentions before doubt can creep in.
