Describe the initial meeting between Chandbhai Patil and the man who would become known as Sai Baba.

The initial meeting is detailed in the Introduction (Chapter 0). Chandbhai Patil, the Patil of Dhupkhede village, was searching for his lost horse in a forest when he came across Maharaj sitting under a tree. Maharaj, a stranger to him, called out and invited him to have a smoke, then told him precisely where to find his missing horse. After Chandbhai found the horse exactly as directed, he was amazed and insisted Maharaj come to his home. This miraculous event was the beginning of their association, which ultimately led to Maharaj traveling to Shirdi.
