Was Sai Baba actually angry with Sapatnekar when he kept saying 'Chal Hat'?

The narrative in Chapter 48 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra describes Sapatnekar's perspective, where he believed Baba was angry and repeatedly rebuking him. Sapatnekar himself speculated on the reasons, wondering if it was due to his past sins or his initial argumentative nature. However, the text does not explicitly state that Baba was angry. The events that followed suggest that this treatment was a test of faith and a catalyst for a deeper spiritual experience. The period of distress pushed Sapatnekar to a point of complete surrender, which culminated in Baba revealing his omniscience and showering his grace, indicating the initial rebuffs were a means to a profound end, not simple anger.
