Can you recount the story of how Chand Patil met Sai Baba and how this led to Sai's arrival in Shirdi?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 39

As detailed in Chapter 39, Sai Baba first appeared in the Nizam State under a mango tree. A man named Chand Patil from Dhupkheda had lost his horse and, in his search, he met Sai. The text mentions that Sai helped him find his horse and also made him smoke a chillum. This encounter was pivotal because, later, a marriage was arranged for Chand Patil's nephew with a bride from Shirdi. Sai Baba accompanied the wedding party from Dhupkheda to Shirdi, marking his unexpected arrival in the village that would become his home. The scripture emphasizes that Chand Patil was merely an instrument for Sai's destined arrival.
