How did Sai Baba return to Shirdi after being away?

According to the narrative in the Shri Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba's return to Shirdi was a significant event facilitated by a man named Chand Patil. As detailed in Chapter 5, Baba had been hidden for some time and is described as a 'gem' that was found again when he encountered Chand Patil. After miraculously helping Patil find his lost mare, Baba eventually returned to Shirdi as part of a Muslim wedding party that was traveling with Patil. This chapter sets the stage for his permanent residence and the unfolding of his divine mission in the village.
