Chapter 13 describes a paradoxical experience where a Patil suffers in a dream but is healed in reality. How does the text explain this phenomenon and the Patil's subsequent reaction?

Chapter 13 addresses this paradox by stating, 'People call dreams an illusion, but sometimes the opposite reality appears.' The Patil's suffering in the dreams—symbolized by the cane and the grinding stone on his chest—had a 'clearly beneficial' result in his waking life: the complete destruction of his disease. His reaction was not one of confusion but of profound gratitude and understanding. He was 'greatly satisfied in his mind,' feeling reborn. He rushed for Sai Baba's darshan, acknowledging the 'inconceivable and unfathomable' nature of Sai's grace and accepting that the painful experience was a favor that ultimately led to his healing and relief from sorrow.
