The text mentions Baba returned to Shirdi after being hidden. How was his encounter with Chand Patil connected to this return?

Chapter 5 serves as the prologue to Baba's return to Shirdi. The text explicitly states that for some time, Baba had been hidden and was later "found in Shirdi within a Muslim wedding party." The chapter then immediately pivots to the story of Chand Patil meeting Baba. This narrative structure implies that the meeting with Patil was the catalyst for Baba's reappearance. By helping Patil find his lost mare and revealing his divine power, Baba initiated a chain of events, starting with this encounter in the Aurangabad district, that would ultimately lead him back to Shirdi with Chand Patil's group, as Chapter 5 begins to unfold.
