Following his miraculous cure, the Patil's gratitude was profound. Chapter 13 narrates that he felt as though he had been reborn and immediately set out for Sai Baba's darshan. Upon seeing Baba's face, he was overcome with joy, and tears of love flowed as he placed his forehead on Baba's feet. He recognized that the painful experiences in his dreams were a beneficial favor from Sai, a debt he felt impossible to repay. His solution was to offer total surrender, stating, "I only place my head at your feet." This act symbolized his complete devotion. Furthermore, he stayed in Shirdi for a month, singing praises, and later established a new tradition of a "Satya-Sai vow" out of his overflowing gratitude.
After the Patil from Birgaon was cured, how did he express his gratitude and devotion to Sai Baba, as detailed in Chapter 13?
