What was Sapatnekar's reaction to hearing his life story from Sai Baba's mouth, and what did he resolve to do?

Initially, Sapatnekar was in a state of great distress, unable to eat or sleep due to Baba's repeated rebukes. However, as recounted in Shri Sai Satcharitra Chapter 48, he made a firm personal determination to stay in Shirdi with a steady mind until he received Baba's grace. His perseverance paid off when he approached Baba, held His feet, and witnessed the miracle of his life story being narrated. Upon hearing his own history, including intimate details, from Sai's mouth, Sapatnekar was filled with immense wonder. This experience completely transformed his state of mind, erasing his distress and etching a deep and lasting respect for Sai's feet in his heart.
