How did the Patil show his gratitude to Sai Baba after being cured, and what does this chapter suggest Sai Baba requires from his devotees?

After being miraculously cured of his disease through a dream, the Patil was overwhelmed with joy. As described in Chapter 13, he went for Baba's darshan, and upon seeing his face, floods of tears of love began to flow as he placed his forehead on Baba's feet. He acknowledged that the painful dream was a beneficial act and that he could never truly repay the favor. The chapter explicitly states that Sainath requires nothing more than "stability, faith, and total surrender," emphasizing that sincere gratitude is the most important offering a devotee can make.
