Sapatnekar was deeply distressed because every time he approached Sai Baba, he was met with the same rebuke: "Chal Hat" or "Go away." As Chapter 48 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra describes, this made him feel singled out, especially while he saw Baba treating others with great love. He agonized over what past deeds could have caused this displeasure, even wondering if it was due to his initial argumentative attitude. Despite his pain, which made food and sleep difficult, he made a firm personal determination to stay right there with a steady mind until he finally received Baba's grace and comfort.
Why was Sapatnekar so distressed when he first came to see Sai Baba, and what was his resolution?
