How did Chand Patil and Sai Baba meet for the first time?

According to Chapter 5, their meeting was quite serendipitous. A man named Chand Patil, from the village of Dhup, had lost his mare and was searching for her for two months. Disappointed, he was returning home carrying the saddle when he came across a mango tree. Under this tree sat a Fakir, who was Sai Baba. The text details that the Fakir called out to Patil, inviting him to rest and smoke a chillum, which marked the beginning of their extraordinary association.
