Can you describe the personal relationship between Sai Baba and Tatya Patil?

The relationship between Maharaj and Tatya Patil was exceptionally close and affectionate, resembling that of an uncle and nephew. Chapter 0 highlights that Maharaj had great love for Tatya, whom he affectionately pampered with money and attention. Tatya, in turn, called Maharaj "Mama," which means maternal uncle. Every evening, Tatya would visit Maharaj, and their loving conversations were a sight to behold. This deep bond was also reflected in Tatya's service; Maharaj would often wait for Tatya to come and help him up. This special connection was seen as a fruit of the service rendered by Tatya's mother, Bayajabai.
