How did Sai Baba, after meeting Chand Patil, eventually return to and settle in Shirdi?

πŸ“– Chapter 5

According to Chapter 5, after witnessing Baba's miracles, Chand Patil insisted that the Fakir sanctify his home. Baba graciously accepted and stayed at Patil's house in Dhup village for some time. The pivotal event for his return to Shirdi was the marriage of Chand Patil's wife's nephew to a bride from Shirdi. Drawn by his connection to Chand Patil, Baba joined the wedding party as a guest and traveled with them to Shirdi. The wedding took place, and while the party eventually returned to their own village, Baba alone stayed behind. His decision to remain there marked what the text calls the dawning of Shirdi's good fortune.
