Chapter 5 provides a distinct description of Sai Baba at his first meeting with Chand Patil. He was seen under a mango tree, wearing a cap on his head and a kafni (a long robe) on his body. He also had a short stick, known as a 'satka,' under his arm. At that moment, he was preparing a chillum by crushing tobacco. Their interaction began when Baba called out to the passing Chand Patil, saying, "Come here, smoke the chillum and then go forward. Rest a while in this shade." This welcoming yet authoritative invitation initiated the conversation that led to the miracles involving the lost mare and the glowing ember.
