As detailed in Chapter 31, upon meeting the sannyasi Vijayananda, Sai Baba's disposition appeared disturbed, and He told the assembled devotees to 'send away this sannyasi.' Being new and unfamiliar with Baba's unique ways, the sannyasi was initially distressed by this reception. However, instead of leaving, he remained seated. He became engrossed in observing the heartfelt service of the devotees in the mosque. Despite Baba's apparent anger, the sannyasi was flooded with devotion, and his resolve to stay only strengthened, preventing his foot from going back.
What was Sai Baba's initial reaction to the sannyasi Vijayananda, and how did the sannyasi respond to it?
