What was Sai Baba's appearance and what was he doing when Chand Patil first saw him under the mango tree?

📖 Chapter 5

Chapter 5 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra provides a clear and vivid description of Sai Baba at the moment of his rediscovery by Chand Patil. When Patil was traveling back from Aurangabad, he saw a Fakir sitting under a mango tree. The text describes the Fakir as wearing a cap on his head and a 'kafni' on his body, which is a long robe. He also had a short stick, known as a 'satka', tucked under his arm. At that very moment, he was engaged in the simple act of preparing a 'chillum' (a pipe) by crushing tobacco in his hand. This humble and rustic appearance belied the immense spiritual power he was about to display to Chand Patil.
