Describe the first encounter between Chand Patil and the Fakir who would become known as Sai Baba.

📖 Chapter 5

The first meeting is a pivotal story from Chapter 5. Chand Patil, a fortunate Muslim man from Dhup village, was grieving the loss of his mare for two months. While returning disappointed from Aurangabad, he came across a mango tree. Underneath, he saw a Fakir wearing a cap and kafni, with a short stick (satka) under his arm. This Fakir, who was Baba, called out to Patil, inviting him to rest and smoke a chillum. He then asked about the saddle Patil was carrying and, upon hearing about the lost horse, miraculously told him exactly where to find it near some streams.
