What was the Patil's response to his miraculous healing, and how did he express his gratitude to Sai Baba?

After being cured of his disease through a series of intense dreams, the Patil was overwhelmed with satisfaction and felt as though he had been reborn. As detailed in Chapter 13, his immediate response was to set out for the darshan of Sai Baba. Upon seeing Baba's face, the Patil's joy was immense, and he was moved to tears of love, placing his forehead on Baba's feet in a gesture of complete surrender. He acknowledged that the strange punishments in his dream were ultimately beneficial and wondered how he could ever repay such a favor. He concluded that the only way was to place his head at Baba's feet, signifying total surrender and gratitude. This act demonstrates that Sainath desires nothing more than stability, faith, total surrender, and gratitude from his devotees.
