What conflicting situation did Vijayananda find himself in after staying in Shirdi for two days?

Chapter 31 explains that after staying in Shirdi for two days, the sannyasi Vijayananda faced a difficult dilemma. He received a letter informing him that his mother was critically ill back in his village, which made him sad and sparked a desire to return home to see her. This created a conflict for him because, despite his wish to go, he felt he could not depart without first securing Sai Baba's permission. This hesitation to move his foot from Shirdi without Baba's consent shows how his faith and surrender had already begun to take root, even after their unusual first meeting.
