Who was Chand Patil and what was his significance in Sai Baba's life story?

Chand Patil was a fortunate Muslim man from the village of Dhup in the Aurangabad district, and his story is detailed in Chapter 5. His significance is immense, as he was the person who rediscovered Sai Baba after a period of absence. While grieving the loss of his mare, Patil encountered Baba, who was then an unknown Fakir. Baba not only helped him find his horse through divine insight but also demonstrated other miraculous abilities, such as pulling a glowing ember from the earth. This encounter led to Baba traveling with Patil's wedding procession, which ultimately brought Baba back to Shirdi, setting the stage for his future works.
