Can you summarize the story of Chand Patil and explain how it connects to Sai Baba's return to Shirdi?

The story of Chand Patil is the pivotal event that led to Sai Baba's return to Shirdi after a period of absence. As narrated in Chapter 5, Chand Patil, a man from Dhup village, lost his mare. While returning home dejected after a long, fruitless search, he met a Fakir who was Sai Baba. Baba performed two miracles: he directed Patil to the exact location of his lost mare and then created fire from the earth to light a chillum. This convinced Patil of Baba's sainthood. The introduction to the chapter connects this encounter directly to Baba's reappearance, stating that it will explain how Baba, after being hidden, "returned to Shirdi with Chand Patil" as part of a wedding party, signifying this meeting as the catalyst for Baba's return to the town he would make famous.
