How did Sai Baba cure the Patil's disease in Chapter 13, and what was the Patil's reaction?

Chapter 13 recounts a miraculous healing through a series of dreams. The Patil first dreamt of a teacher punishing a student with a cane, and then had a second, more intense dream where a gentleman sat on his chest and used it as a mortar with a grinding stone, causing extreme agony. Despite the terrifying nature of the dreams, when the Patil woke up, he felt an 'unprecedented freshness' and realized his disease had 'vanished completely.' He understood this experience as a profound act of grace from Sai Baba. His reaction was one of overwhelming joy and gratitude. He sought Baba's darshan, and with floods of tears, he placed his forehead on Baba's feet, acknowledging that the 'punishment' was a blessing and that Sai's ways are 'inconceivable and unfathomable.'
