What was Sai Baba's initial reaction upon meeting the sannyasi Vijayananda, and how did the sannyasi respond?

📖 Chapter 31

Chapter 31 describes a curious interaction. After the sannyasi Vijayananda took darshan and sat down feeling pleased, Sai Baba's disposition suddenly became disturbed. Baba then spoke to the assembly, saying, "send away this sannyasi; there is no companionship for work." As Vijayananda was new to Shirdi and did not understand Baba's unpredictable nature, he became distressed by this seemingly harsh dismissal. However, despite his inner turmoil, he did not leave. Instead, he chose to sit and watch the service, observing the proceedings in the assembly.
