The Satcharitra says Baba returned to Shirdi after being 'hidden'. How did this return happen?

Chapter 5 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains the circumstances of Baba's return to Shirdi. After a period of being 'hidden,' he was rediscovered by Chand Patil of Dhup village. This encounter, which began with Patil losing his mare, ultimately led to Baba accompanying Patil's party back to Shirdi. The text states that this 'gem' (Baba) was found in Shirdi within a Muslim wedding party. Therefore, Baba's celebrated return to Shirdi, where he would spend the rest of his life, was facilitated by his connection with Chand Patil and his family's wedding procession.
