Chapter 5 provides a powerful example of Sai Baba's divine attributes. When Chand Patil, completely disappointed and grieving the loss of his mare for two months, encountered Baba, the saint showed immediate compassion. He first invited the weary traveler to rest in the shade and smoke a chillum. Demonstrating his omniscience, Baba asked about the saddle Patil was carrying and, upon hearing the horse was lost, simply said, "Go search near those streams; the horse is found immediately." The immediate fulfillment of this statement, without any prior knowledge of the situation, stunned Patil and revealed Baba's superhuman insight. This interaction shows not just his power, but his use of it to alleviate the suffering of a stranger.
