Sapatnekar thought his past sins or argumentative nature caused Baba's rejection. How did Baba eventually show his grace and prove him wrong?

📖 Chapter 48

Initially, Sapatnekar was tormented by Sai Baba's repeated rebukes of "Chal Hat," leading him to speculate that his past sins or his early argumentative attitude were the cause. Shri Sai Satcharitra Chapter 48 describes his internal turmoil as he felt Baba was angry only with him. However, the story's progression suggests this was a test of his faith and persistence. Baba's grace was not shown by simply stopping the rebukes, but in a much more profound way. After Sapatnekar resolved to stay and finally held Baba's feet, Baba orchestrated a leela by narrating Sapatnekar's entire life story to a third person, proving his omniscience and deep, intimate knowledge of his devotee. This act was a powerful form of grace, dissolving Sapatnekar's doubts and instilling deep respect, demonstrating that Baba was not angry but was preparing him for a deeper realization.
