Who was Chand Patil and how did his personal trouble lead him to meet Sai Baba?

According to Chapter 5, Chand Patil was a fortunate Muslim man who resided in the village of Dhup, in the Aurangabad district. He found himself in a state of distress after his mare went missing, and he spent two long months searching for her without any success. Feeling completely disappointed and grieving the loss, he was returning from Aurangabad, carrying the horse's saddle on his back. It was during this journey, as he passed a mango tree, that he was called over by a Fakir, who was none other than Sai Baba. This chance encounter, born from Patil's misfortune, marked their significant meeting as detailed in Chapter 5.
