Who was Chand Patil and what was his initial interaction with Sai Baba?

Chand Patil was a fortunate Muslim man and the village head of Dhup in the Aurangabad district. As detailed in Chapter 5, his first encounter with Sai Baba occurred while he was grieving the loss of his mare. After searching for two months, he was returning home disappointed when he saw a Fakir under a mango tree. This Fakir, who was Baba, called out to him, offered him a smoke from his chillum, and miraculously told him the exact location of his lost horse near a stream, which Patil found immediately.
