How did the Patil express his gratitude and faith towards Sai Baba after being cured of his illness?

Following his miraculous cure, the Patil's gratitude was immense, as detailed in Chapter 13. He first went for Baba's darshan, where his joy overflowed, and he placed his forehead on Baba's feet with tears of love. He then stayed in Shirdi for a month singing praises. More significantly, he established a new tradition upon returning home called the "Satya-Sai vow." This involved regularly reading the three chapters about Sai from Das Ganu's 'Bhaktalilamrut' every Thursday. This act of "total surrender" and consistent devotion became his way of repaying the favor he had received, showing that faith and gratitude were what he valued most.
