Following his miraculous healing, how did Chand Patil demonstrate his long-term devotion and gratitude towards Sainath?

Chand Patil's gratitude was not a fleeting emotion; it manifested in sustained acts of devotion. According to Chapter 13, after his healing, he stayed in Shirdi for a month and continued to visit frequently, his heart overflowing with joy and faith. His most significant act of gratitude was establishing the 'Satya-Sai vow.' This involved a regular Thursday ritual where he would read the three chapters on Sai's life from Das Ganu's work. He performed this vow with his community, establishing it as a local custom and demonstrating that Sainath requires nothing more than stability, faith, total surrender, and gratitude.
