What was Sai Baba's initial, perplexing reaction to seeing the sannyasi Vijayananda?

Chapter 31 describes a very surprising initial encounter between Sai Baba and the sannyasi Vijayananda. After the sannyasi took darshan and prostrated at Baba's feet, Baba's disposition suddenly became disturbed. He unexpectedly ordered the assembly to "send away this sannyasi," declaring that there was "no companionship for work." As the chapter notes, the sannyasi, being new and unaware of Baba's unique nature, was understandably distressed by this harsh reception. However, instead of leaving immediately, he chose to sit down and continue watching the service, observing the proceedings.
