What role did Chand Patil play in Sai Baba's arrival in Shirdi, according to the provided text?

According to Chapter 39, Chand Patil was a meritorious man who played a pivotal role in the story of Sai Baba's arrival. He is described as the one who initially "found this treasure (Sai)," and through him, others were able to receive Sai's Darshan. The chapter alludes to the story of how Patil lost his horse, met Sai, was offered a chillum, and found his horse again. It was through his nephew's wedding in Shirdi that Sai accompanied the wedding party and arrived in the village. The text clarifies, however, that Chand Patil was merely an instrument, as Sai came to Shirdi of his own accord for the upliftment of his devotees.
