After Vijayananda took darshan and sat down feeling pleased, Sai Baba's disposition suddenly changed. As described in Chapter 31, Baba addressed the assembly and instructed them to 'send away this sannyasi; there is no companionship for work.' This unexpected and seemingly harsh reaction was puzzling to the sannyasi. Being new to Shirdi and unfamiliar with Baba's ways, Vijayananda became distressed at heart. However, instead of leaving, he chose to remain seated and quietly watch the ongoing service, showing a degree of perseverance despite his confusion.
What was Sai Baba's initial reaction to the sannyasi Vijayananda, and how did the sannyasi handle it?
