I read that a devotee named Dev felt deceived by Sai Baba. What happened, and how was the misunderstanding resolved?

📖 Chapter 40

The misunderstanding occurred during Dev's Udyapan ceremony, an event described in Chapter 40. Dev had lovingly invited Baba, who assured him he would come. When Baba did not appear in his known form, Dev felt disappointed and deceived, writing a letter to another devotee, Jog, asking, "How is it that Baba deceived me?" The issue was resolved when Jog communicated Dev's feelings to Baba. Sai revealed that he had attended the feast in the guise of a Sanyasi with two companions. When Jog relayed this truth back to Dev in a detailed letter, Dev was overcome with love and felt deep remorse, exclaiming, "Shame, shame! I blamed Sai in vain!"
