What was Sapatnekar's internal reaction when he realized Sai Baba was telling his life story?

Upon hearing his own life story from Sai Baba's mouth, Sapatnekar experienced a profound internal transformation. Chapter 48 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra describes him as being "filled with wonder" and "shocked within." He listened intently as Baba narrated his life, framed as a story about a merchant, to the Dhangar woman. This direct and undeniable proof of Baba's omniscience caused Sapatnekar to marvel, thinking, "How does Baba know this?" The experience completely erased his previous doubts and sadness, etching a deep and lasting respect for Sai's feet in his mind.
