What was Sai Baba's initial reaction to the sannyasi Vijayananda, and how did it affect him?

📖 Chapter 31

According to the account in Chapter 31, after the sannyasi Vijayananda took darshan and prostrated at Sai Baba's feet, Baba's disposition unexpectedly became disturbed. He then instructed the assembly to 'send away this sannyasi,' declaring that there was 'no companionship for work.' Since Vijayananda was new to Shirdi and did not understand Baba's enigmatic nature, he became very distressed at heart by this seemingly harsh dismissal. Despite his inner turmoil, he remained seated and continued to observe the proceedings.
