Chapter 13 describes Sai's methods as 'inconceivable and unfathomable.' How does the Patil's healing process demonstrate this specific quality?

The Patil's healing process is a prime example of Sai Baba's 'inconceivable and unfathomable' methods as described in Chapter 13. Instead of a conventional cure, Baba employed strange and paradoxical dreams. The Patil was subjected to violent, painful experiences in his dreams—being beaten with a cane and having his chest crushed by a grinding stone—which would normally be considered harmful. Yet, the text states that upon waking, "came the destruction of the disease and relief from sorrow for the Patil." This demonstrates a divine logic that transcends human understanding, where an act of apparent punishment becomes the very source of a miraculous cure. Chapter 13 highlights this by noting that while dreams are often seen as illusions, here the opposite reality appeared, proving Baba's grace operates in mysterious ways.
