What was the miraculous event involving the chillum when Chand Patil met the Fakir?

The story of Chand Patil's first meeting with Sai Baba includes a remarkable miracle related to a chillum, or smoking pipe. As detailed in Chapter 5 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, after Baba had helped Patil find his lost mare, they prepared to smoke. To light the tobacco, a fire was needed. Instead of using a conventional method, Baba performed a wondrous act. The text describes how he 'picked up a pair of tongs (chimta) with his own hand. Then he thrust it right there into the earth, pulled out a glowing ember from within, and placed it on the chillum.' This act of creating fire directly from the earth was a clear and astonishing demonstration of his divine power.
