What was the attitude of the shopkeepers towards Sai Baba, and how did it change after the lamp miracle?

Initially, the shopkeepers provided oil for Baba's lamps, but Chapter 5 reveals their attitude soured over time. They developed a "wicked idea" and conspired to stop the "nuisance" of giving free oil daily. However, their stance shifted dramatically after they witnessed the miracle of the water-fueled lamps. After refusing Baba oil and watching him light the lamps with water, which then burned all night, they were stunned. The text says they felt immense repentance, realizing they had sinned by lying to Baba and causing him needless trouble. They trembled, recognizing the immense power he possessed.
