In Chapter 34, Sai Baba's response is multifaceted, addressing both the physical ailment and the family's spiritual distress. After they pleaded their case, Sai, the 'embodiment of compassion,' reassured them and told them to be worry-free. He provided a tangible remedy with a clear instruction: 'Take this Udi and smear it on that wound.' He also gave them a timeline, stating it would show results in eight to fourteen days, and a condition: 'Keep faith in God.' As the chapter narrates, he then elevated their faith by reframing the location: 'This is not just a Masjid, it is Dwaravati. Whoever’s feet touch here immediately attains well-being and health.' Finally, he moved his hand over the boy's leg and cast a 'look of grace,' a direct spiritual blessing that provided immediate comfort and initiated the healing process.
