The source mentions Baba had a "sharp nature." How did this trait affect his relationship with the people of Shirdi, even after they developed faith in him?

Even after the entire village of Shirdi developed faith in Sai Baba, particularly following miracles like lighting lamps with water, his interactions with most people were not intimate. Chapter 0 explains that very few people managed to form a close relationship with him. The primary reason cited for this was Maharaj's "sharp nature," which made people hesitant and prevented them from being overly familiar with him. As a result, visits to the Masjid by the general populace were infrequent, although the text notes that Madhavrao Balwant Deshpande was an exception who began visiting more often.
