Why was Sapatnekar so upset with Sai Baba's treatment of him?

Sapatnekar felt deeply distressed because whenever he approached Sai Baba for darshan, Baba would dismiss him with the words "Chal Hat," meaning "Go away." As described in Chapter 48 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, this repeated rejection made him feel singled out, especially when he saw Baba treating other devotees with great love and affection. He wondered what past deeds or sins he had committed to deserve such displeasure, lamenting that while others experienced a "daily Diwali of joy," his own forehead was marked only with Baba's rebuke. This caused him to lose his appetite and sleep.
