The Patil's dream involved a violent punishment that led to his healing. How does Chapter 13 explain this paradox of a beneficial punishment?

Chapter 13 presents a fascinating paradox where a seemingly harsh punishment from Sai Baba results in a profound blessing. The Patil endures a dream where his back is broken and his chest is turned into a mortar, causing him immense agony. However, upon waking, he finds himself completely cured of his disease and filled with an 'unprecedented freshness.' The text explicitly states, 'The punishment by the cane and the bursting of the heart—the result was clearly beneficial.' The Patil recognizes this and calls Baba's methods 'inconceivable and unfathomable.' This story, as detailed in Chapter 13, demonstrates that Baba's grace can manifest in mysterious ways that might initially seem negative but ultimately work for the devotee's highest good.
