What was Sai Baba's appearance and demeanor when he was rediscovered by Chand Patil?

When Chand Patil stumbled upon him, Sai Baba was presented as a humble Fakir. Chapter 5 describes him sitting under a mango tree, wearing a cap on his head and a kafni on his body, with a short stick, or 'satka,' under his arm. At that moment, he was occupied with the simple act of preparing a chillum by crushing tobacco. His demeanor was compassionate and welcoming; he saw the grieving Patil on the road and immediately called out, inviting him to rest in the shade and smoke with him. This initial interaction shows Baba's immediate empathy for a troubled stranger, even before revealing his divine powers.
