What did Dev do after the Sanyasi and his group left, and how did he feel about the whole encounter?

After the Sanyasi and his companions finished their meal and departed, Dev was left in a state of confusion and doubt. Chapter 40 explains that despite having served three uninvited guests in person, the experience did not match his expectations of hosting Sai Baba. He felt disappointed and that Baba had somehow 'deceived' him. To seek answers and express his bewilderment, Dev wrote a letter to Jog. In the letter, he lamented, 'I waited with great effort, but no experience came,' and questioned why the visit turned out so differently from what he had been led to believe, showing his inability to reconcile the ordinary event with the profound spiritual visit he had anticipated.
