The Patil's healing was a strange and painful event detailed in Chapter 13. He had a dream in which a gentleman sat on his chest, using it as a mortar and grinding on it with a stone, causing him agony so great he felt he was about to die. However, when he woke up, he felt an unprecedented freshness and his disease had completely vanished. This experience transformed his understanding, as the text notes that while people call dreams illusions, sometimes the opposite reality appears. The Patil realized that the apparent 'punishment' in the dream was actually a beneficial act that cured him, leading him to feel reborn and surrender completely to Sai Baba.
Describe the Patil's healing experience and how it changed his perspective on dreams and suffering.
