After waking up cured and refreshed, the Patil was greatly satisfied and felt as though he had been reborn. Chapter 13 describes how he then set out for the darshan of Baba. Upon seeing Baba's face, the Patil's joy overflowed, his eyes were dazed, and tears of love began to flow as he placed his forehead on Baba's feet. He acknowledged the 'punishment' as ultimately beneficial and expressed his complete surrender, stating, "How can a wretched person like me repay this favor? Since it is impossible, I only place my head at your feet." This demonstrates a relationship based on profound gratitude, faith, and total surrender to Baba's inconceivable ways.
How did the Patil react after he was cured, and what does his reaction tell us about the devotee's relationship with Sai?
