What was Sapatnekar's emotional state and what did he decide to do after repeatedly being dismissed by Sai Baba?

Sapatnekar was in a state of extreme emotional turmoil after being repeatedly dismissed by Sai Baba. According to Chapter 48 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, he was very distressed, feeling that food and water did not taste good and he was sleepless. He questioned his past deeds, wondering why Baba was angry only with him and theorized that perhaps his past argumentative nature was the cause. Despite this deep anguish, he made a firm personal determination: he decided that he would stay right there in Shirdi with a steady mind until he finally received Baba's grace, refusing to leave in despair.
