How did the Patil's strange dream experience in Chapter 13 ultimately strengthen his faith in Sai Baba?

The Patil experienced two distressing dreams. In the first, a teacher broke his back, and in the second, a gentleman crushed his chest with a grinding stone. As detailed in Chapter 13, these dreams, which people might dismiss as illusions, had a tangible and beneficial reality for the Patil. Upon waking, he found his disease had vanished completely, and he felt an unprecedented freshness. This miraculous cure, which he perceived as a direct result of Baba's intervention, filled him with immense joy and gratitude. He felt reborn and realized the 'punishment' was a beneficial act, leading him to place his head at Baba's feet in total surrender, acknowledging the unfathomable nature of Sai's grace.
