According to the provided text, what was Chand Patil's role in Sai Baba coming to Shirdi?

According to the account in Chapter 39 of Sai Satcharitra, Chand Patil was a meritorious man who was the first to find the 'treasure' that was Sai Baba, allowing others to receive his Darshan. The text mentions that Sai Baba arrived in Shirdi along with the wedding party for Chand Patil's nephew. However, Chapter 39 clarifies that Chand Patil was 'merely an instrument' in this event. It states that Sai Baba's arrival was not a coincidence but that he took his incarnation and came to Shirdi of his own accord, driven by a great concern for the upliftment of his devotees.
