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

After being miraculously cured, the Patil was filled with immense gratitude. Chapter 13 explains that he initially stayed in Shirdi for a month, singing praises to Baba. Upon returning home, he established a new tradition called the 'Satya-Sai vow' as a way to formalize his devotion. This practice was modeled on the Satyanarayan vow and was performed every Thursday. Instead of a traditional story, the Patil would read the three chapters about Sainath from Das Ganu's 'Bhaktalilamrut,' which he considered the 'Satya-Sai story.' This act of devotion brought him great peace and became a custom in his village.
