What was the Patil's emotional and spiritual state after his encounter with Sai Baba, and how did it change his life?

The Patil's encounter with Sai Baba led to a profound transformation. Chapter 13 details how, after being relieved from his disease and sorrow, the Patil's mind was greatly satisfied, and he felt as if he had been reborn. Seeing Baba's face, his "ocean of joy" was filled with a "tide of bliss," and he was dazed with a trance-like state, shedding tears of love. This experience instilled in him deep devotion, faith, and gratitude, which prompted him to frequently visit Shirdi. He found a new spiritual path by creating and regularly performing the "Satya-Sai vow," which brought him boundless happiness and peace of mind.
