From Chand Patil's perspective, how did he interpret the 'punishment by the cane' and his subsequent healing?

From his viewpoint, Chand Patil saw his healing as an unfathomable act of grace from Sai Baba. Chapter 13 recounts that after his disease vanished, he felt reborn and mentally satisfied. He did not view the 'punishment by the cane' as a negative event; instead, he concluded that its 'result was clearly beneficial,' as it led to his relief from sorrow. He was filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude, expressing that a 'wretched person' like him could never repay such a favor and that his only recourse was total surrender by placing his head at Baba's feet.
