Can you provide a detailed account of the events from Chand Patil's initial meeting with the Fakir to Baba's subsequent arrival in Shirdi?

📖 Chapter 5

The narrative begins with Chand Patil, the head of Dhup village, in distress over his lost mare. Chapter 5 explains that while returning dejectedly from a two-month search, he encounters a Fakir under a mango tree. This Fakir, Sai Baba, not only tells him the exact location of the lost mare but also performs miracles by creating fire and water from the earth to prepare a chillum. Deeply impressed, Chand Patil insists Baba come to his home, where Baba stays for a period. The story culminates when a wedding is arranged for Patil's wife's nephew with a bride from Shirdi. Baba accompanies the wedding procession, and this is how he makes his return to Shirdi, an event that marks the beginning of his long stay there.
