According to the narrative in Chapter 5 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba's return to Shirdi was facilitated by a man named Chand Patil. After a period of being hidden, Baba, described as a 'gem,' was discovered by Patil under a mango tree. Patil, who was from the village of Dhup, had lost his mare and was miraculously guided by Baba to find it. This profound experience led to a connection, and Baba later returned to Shirdi as part of a Muslim wedding party that he was accompanying. The text states that this is how the 'gem' was found in Shirdi.
How did Sai Baba eventually return to Shirdi after being hidden for some time?
