What role did Chand Patil play in Sai Baba's story, and what was Sai's ultimate purpose for coming to Shirdi, according to this chapter?

Chapter 39 presents Chand Patil as the fortunate individual who first met Sai Baba. It alludes to a past story involving Chand Patil's lost horse, his meeting with Sai, sharing a chillum, and the subsequent recovery of his horse. His nephew's wedding in Shirdi was the event that brought Sai to the village. However, the chapter emphasizes that Chand Patil was merely an instrument. Sai's true purpose, as stated in this text, was a self-motivated incarnation, coming to Shirdi out of great concern for the upliftment of his devotees, especially the simple, faithful, fallen, and poor.
