How was the Patil's disease cured, and what was his reaction to this miraculous event?

The Patil's disease was cured in a very unusual way. According to Chapter 13, he experienced two strange dreams. In the second, a gentleman pressed a grinding stone on his chest, causing great agony. However, when the dream ended and he woke up, the Patil felt an unprecedented freshness, and the idea of his disease had vanished completely. Though dreams are often considered illusions, this one brought about a real and beneficial result. Overwhelmed with joy and feeling as if he had been reborn, the Patil went for Sai Baba's darshan, where floods of tears of love flowed as he placed his forehead on Baba's feet in gratitude.
