Why was Sapatnekar so distressed and upset with Sai Baba in Shirdi? It sounds like he was being treated very harshly.

Sapatnekar was deeply distressed because every time he went for Sai Baba's darshan, Baba would rebuke him with the words "Chal Hat," meaning "Go away." As described in Chapter 48, this made him feel singled out and rejected, especially since he saw Baba treating everyone else with extreme love. This constant rebuff caused him to spiral into self-doubt, wondering if his past karma, sins, or his initial argumentative nature towards Baba were the cause. The experience left him sleepless and unable to eat, creating a state of intense spiritual anguish until he resolved to stay until he received Baba's grace.
