Can you describe the Patil's experience with Sai Baba and how it transformed him?

The Patil was suffering from a disease and sorrow, but his encounter with Sai Baba brought about a profound transformation. As recounted in Chapter 13, what initially seemed like a 'punishment by the cane' paradoxically led to the 'destruction of the disease and relief from sorrow.' The Patil felt as if he had been reborn, and his mind was filled with immense satisfaction and joy. Overwhelmed with gratitude for this 'inconceivable and unfathomable' novelty, he placed his head at Baba's feet, acknowledging that he could never truly repay the favor. This experience filled him with such devotion that he stayed in Shirdi for a month and continued to visit frequently.
