I read about a devotee named Sapatnekar who was constantly rebuffed by Sai Baba. How did he cope with this rejection and what was the outcome?

Sapatnekar was deeply distressed by Sai Baba's repeated "Chal Hat" rebukes, feeling singled out while others experienced joy. As described in Chapter 48 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, he initially wondered if this was due to his past sins or his initial argumentative nature. Despite his pain, which made food and sleep difficult, he made a firm resolution to stay in Shirdi until he received Baba's grace. This persistence paid off when he finally approached Baba, and through a miraculous conversation not even directed at him, he came to understand Baba's omniscience and his distress turned into profound respect.
