Chapter 5 describes two notable miracles during Sai Baba's first meeting with Chand Patil. First, upon hearing that Patil's mare had been lost for two months, Baba simply told him to go search near some streams, where the mare was found immediately. This displayed his divine insight. Second, when preparing the chillum to smoke, Baba thrust his tongs (chimta) into the bare earth and pulled out a glowing, live ember to light the tobacco. This act of creating fire from nothing left Chand Patil in awe and convinced him he had met a saint.
