Sapatnekar was deeply distressed because every time he approached Sai Baba for Darshan, he was met with the same rebuke: "Chal Hat." According to Chapter 48, this made him feel singled out, as he saw Baba treating others with extreme love. He agonized over what past deeds or sins could be causing this displeasure, even wondering if his initial doubtfulness towards Baba was the cause.
