How did the Patil's perspective on his dream-punishment evolve after he was cured in Chapter 13?

Initially, the punishment in the dream was simply a source of agony that brought the Patil's life to his throat. However, after waking up cured and free from his disease, his perspective shifted dramatically. As detailed in Chapter 13, upon having Baba's darshan, the Patil was overwhelmed with joy and realized the 'punishment by the cane and the bursting of the heart' had a clearly beneficial result. He recognized this strange and painful experience as an inconceivable favor from Sai Baba. He expressed that a wretched person like him could never repay such a favor and that his only recourse was to place his head at Baba's feet in complete surrender and gratitude, which became the foundation of his lifelong devotion.
