Can you walk me through the complete story of Chand Patil's lost mare and how that whole situation led to Sai Baba coming back to Shirdi?

📖 Chapter 5

The story of Chand Patil's lost mare is the pivotal event that directly led to Sai Baba's return to Shirdi. Chapter 5 details this narrative, starting with Chand Patil, a man from Dhup village, losing his mare. After a fruitless two-month search, he was returning home disappointed, carrying the saddle on his back. On his way, he met a Fakir (Sai Baba) under a mango tree. Baba, upon hearing of the lost horse, simply told Patil to look near some streams, where the mare was immediately found. Astonished, Patil returned to the Fakir, only to witness another miracle where Baba produced a glowing ember from the earth for his pipe. This encounter with the 'Avaliya' or saint, as Patil recognized him, set the stage for Baba's return to Shirdi, as the text states Baba was next seen in Shirdi with Chand Patil's wedding party.
