The text mentions Baba got angry at Somdev Buva, yet this only increased Buva's love. Can you explain this apparent contradiction?

📖 Chapter 49

This paradox is central to understanding the nature of a Sadguru's actions. Chapter 49 reveals that Somdev Buva realized Baba's apparent anger was not ordinary wrath but a profound, personalized teaching. When Baba shouted, "Why should one take darshan of the one who puts a flag on the Masjid?", he was echoing the Buva's own secret, doubtful thoughts. This exposed Baba as the 'knower of hearts'. The Buva understood this was not anger, but a divine 'instruction' meant to purify him. He contrasted his own 'contrary imaginations' with Baba's 'pure heart' and saw the event as a joy-giving lesson, which is why his love and devotion doubled instead of diminishing.
