What was Sapatnekar's emotional journey in Chapter 48, from despair to reverence for Sai Baba?

Sapatnekar's journey in Chapter 48 is one of profound transformation from despair to deep reverence. Initially, he was in agony, feeling singled out and repeatedly rebuked by Sai Baba with "Chal Hat." This led him to question his past karma and sins. However, instead of leaving, he made a firm determination to stay until he received Baba's grace. This resolve led him to seize a moment to physically connect with Baba by holding his feet. The climax of his journey occurred when he overheard Baba narrating his entire life story to a Dhangar woman. As described in Chapter 48, this miracle completely erased his doubts, filling him with wonder and etching a deep respect for Sai Baba's feet in his mind.
