Why would Baba repeatedly reject Sapatnekar by saying 'Chal Hat' only to later reveal his omniscience in such a personal way?

The Shri Sai Satcharitra's account in Chapter 48 suggests a deeper purpose behind Baba's seemingly harsh treatment of Sapatnekar. Sapatnekar himself speculated that Baba's displeasure might be due to his own past karma or his initial argumentative stance. Baba's repeated rebukes of "Chal Hat" brought Sapatnekar to a state of extreme distress and desperation. This intense state culminated in a powerful resolution to not leave until he received grace. It was only after Sapatnekar reached this point of surrender, holding Baba's feet, that the profound revelation occurred, suggesting the initial rejection was a test to break down his ego and doubt.
