Why was Sapatnekar so distressed by Sai Baba's initial behavior towards him?

Sapatnekar was deeply distressed because every time he went for Sai Baba's Darshan and bowed, Baba would rebuke him with the same phrase, "Chal Hat," which means "Go away." As described in the Shri Sai Satcharitra, Chapter 48, Sapatnekar felt singled out and confused, wondering about his past deeds and why Baba was angry only with him while treating others with extreme love. He lamented that while others experienced a "daily Diwali of joy" with Baba, his own fate was only rejection. This led him to believe his past karma must be at its peak, causing him great anguish and sleeplessness.
