How did the Patil demonstrate his faith and gratitude towards Sai Baba after being healed?

After being miraculously healed, the Patil's faith and gratitude were immense. Chapter 13 explains that he established a new devotional practice called the 'Satya-Sai vow.' Similar to how people perform the Satyanarayan vow to overcome crises, the Patil began this new vow every Thursday. Instead of the traditional story, he would lovingly read the three chapters about Sai Baba from the 'Bhaktalilamrut' written by Das Ganu. This act of devotion, born from gratitude, became a regular custom in his village, showing his complete surrender to Sai's grace.
