What miracles did Chand Patil witness during his first encounter with Sai Baba?

During his first meeting with Sai Baba, Chand Patil witnessed two distinct miracles that revealed Baba's divine nature. As detailed in Chapter 5, the first was Baba's clairvoyance. Upon learning that Patil's horse was lost, Baba simply told him to go search near the streams, and the mare was found immediately. This amazed Patil, who had been searching for two months. The second miracle was even more direct; needing to light his chillum, Baba thrust a pair of tongs (chimta) into the earth and pulled out a glowing ember. These events convinced Chand Patil that he was in the presence of an 'Avaliya' (saint) and not a mere human.
