Based on Chapter 13, how does the experience of the Patil illustrate the mysterious and paradoxical ways in which Sai Baba's grace operates?

The Patil's story in Chapter 13 is a powerful illustration of Sai Baba's mysterious methods. The healing did not come through gentle means but through a terrifying and violent dream where the Patil's chest was metaphorically crushed by a grinding stone. The text notes that the result of this "punishment" was "clearly beneficial," leading to the complete destruction of his disease. The Patil himself calls Baba's methods "Inconceivable and unfathomable." This paradox—experiencing agony that leads to blissful relief and rebirth—shows that Sai Baba's grace can operate beyond human logic, turning suffering into a means for profound healing and spiritual awakening, and even, as the chapter concludes, turning back time.
