How did a dream experience transform the Patil's health and strengthen his faith in Sai Baba?

The Patil experienced two strange and distressing dreams. In the first, a teacher was punishing him with a cane, and in the second, a gentleman used a grinding stone on his chest, causing immense agony. As described in Chapter 13, despite the terrifying nature of these dreams, the Patil woke up feeling an unprecedented freshness, and his disease had vanished completely. This miraculous healing, which he attributed to Sai Baba, caused a profound shift. His sorrow was relieved, and he felt reborn. This experience led him to seek Baba's darshan, where he was overcome with joy and gratitude, placing his head at Baba's feet and acknowledging the "inconceivable and unfathomable" novelty of Sai's methods. The punishment in the dream resulted in a clearly beneficial outcome, solidifying his faith.
