After his miraculous cure, how did the Patil from Chapter 13 alter his devotional practices, and what new tradition did he establish?

Following his cure, the Patil's devotion to Sai Baba became his life's focus. Chapter 13 explains that he was so overwhelmed with gratitude that he created a new tradition called the 'Satya-Sai vow.' This was a direct adaptation of the common practice of performing a Satyanarayan vow to overcome a crisis. Every Thursday, the Patil would observe this vow, but instead of reading the traditional story, he would read from the 'modern Bhaktalilamrut' written by Das Ganu. Specifically, he would read the three chapters within that book that were dedicated to Sainath. This new custom, born from his profound personal experience, eventually became popular in his village.
