The Patil's healing involved a 'punishment by the cane.' How does Chapter 13 explain this paradoxical event?

Chapter 13 presents the Patil's healing as a profound paradox, where an apparent punishment was the vehicle for grace. Although he endured a 'punishment by the cane and the bursting of the heart,' the text immediately clarifies that the 'result was clearly beneficial.' The idea of his disease vanished, and he felt reborn. The Patil himself recognized this mystery, calling Baba's methods 'inconceivable and unfathomable.' This demonstrates that sometimes what appears to be a harsh trial is actually an 'opposite reality' that leads to relief from sorrow, showing that Baba's grace can work in ways beyond human comprehension.
