What was the sequence of events that led Chand Patil to recognize Sai Baba as a powerful saint?

📖 Chapter 5

The fifth chapter of the Shri Sai Satcharitra details the profound encounter that convinced Chand Patil of Baba's sainthood. The sequence began when Patil, dejected after losing his mare, met a Fakir (Baba) who invited him to rest. The first sign of Baba's power was when he told Patil the exact location of the mare, which had been lost for two months. Upon finding the horse immediately, Patil was amazed and thought he had met an 'Avaliya' (saint). His conviction was solidified upon his return, when Baba performed a second miracle. As Chapter 5 recounts, Baba needed to light his chillum, so he thrust tongs into the earth and pulled out a glowing ember. These successive miracles demonstrated supernatural power and convinced Patil he was in the presence of a divine being.
