Can you describe the miracle mentioned in the introduction and explain the sequence of events that led to Maharaj coming to Shirdi?

The introduction, Chapter 0, narrates how Maharaj met Chandbhai. After helping Chandbhai find his lost horse, Maharaj needed a fire for his chillum. As there was no fire in the forest, he miraculously produced one by striking his tongs on the ground. Impressed by this, Chandbhai insisted Maharaj visit his home, which he did the next day. Maharaj stayed at Chandbhai's house for a few days. Sometime later, he accompanied the wedding procession of Chandbhai's wife's nephew to Shirdi, which is how he first arrived in the village.
