In Chapter 5, Chand Patil witnesses two distinct miracles that convince him of the Fakir's divine nature. First, after learning Patil's mare was lost, the Fakir, who we know as Sai Baba, simply directed him to a nearby stream, where the mare was found instantly. This astounded Patil, who had searched fruitlessly for two months. The second wonder occurred when they were preparing to smoke a chillum. The Fakir, needing fire, thrust a pair of tongs (chimta) into the earth and pulled out a glowing ember to place on the chillum. These acts, as described in Chapter 5, made Chand Patil realize he was in the presence of a great Avaliya, not a mere human.
What were the two wonders that made Chand Patil realize he had met a saint?
