Can you describe the initial encounter between Chand Patil and the Fakir who turned out to be Sai Baba?

📖 Chapter 5

The first meeting is detailed in Chapter 5. Chand Patil, a resident of Dhup village, was grieving the loss of his mare for two months. While returning from Aurangabad, he came upon a mango tree and saw a Fakir underneath. This Fakir, who was Sai Baba, was wearing a cap and a kafni, with a short stick (satka) under his arm, and was preparing a chillum. Baba called out to the passing Chand Patil, inviting him to rest and smoke. This marked the beginning of their interaction, which would soon reveal Baba's divine nature.
