Why did Sapatnekar become so distressed and feel singled out by Sai Baba?

Sapatnekar felt immense distress because Sai Baba consistently rebuked him by saying "Chal Hat" whenever he approached for darshan. As described in Chapter 48, he observed Baba behaving with "extreme love" towards others, which made his own rejection feel personal and profound. He began to question his past deeds, wondering if his karma had reached its peak or if his initial argumentative nature was the cause. This constant rebuff left him feeling sleepless and unable to enjoy food or water, as he saw a "daily Diwali of joy" for others but only rejection for himself.
