Chapter 34 presents a narrative where faith and the application of Udi are intrinsically linked. When the family from Malegaon approached Sai Baba, they had already exhausted all medical options for their son's bone-cyst. Sai Baba provided them with Udi and instructed them to apply it, but he coupled this instruction with a crucial condition: "Keep faith in God." He also reassured them by stating that his Masjid, or Dwaravati, was a place where troubles are resolved. The text mentions that after Baba cast a look of grace and they heard his words, the patient felt supreme happiness and the ailment began to find relief. This suggests that the healing was not merely a mechanical result of applying ash, but a holistic event catalyzed by the Guru's grace, the power of the sacred Udi, and the family's burgeoning faith.
According to Chapter 34, what was the role of faith versus the actual application of Udi in the healing process of the boy with the bone-cyst?
