Chapter 5 illustrates several events that convinced Chand Patil of the Fakir's divine nature. Initially, after two months of fruitless searching, Patil was stunned when the Fakir accurately predicted the location of his lost mare, leading him to believe he had met an 'Avaliya' or saint. His conviction was solidified when he witnessed the Fakir perform miracles to prepare a chillum. The text describes how the Fakir pulled a glowing ember from the ground with tongs and then produced a stream of water by striking the ground with his satka. These extraordinary acts, which his mind found stunning, confirmed that the Fakir was not a 'mere human.'
From Chand Patil's perspective, what convinced him that the Fakir he met was not an ordinary person?
