Describe Sai Baba's reaction and instructions when the distressed parents from Malegaon pleaded for their son's life in Chapter 34.

In Chapter 34, Sai Baba’s reaction is portrayed as one of immediate and profound compassion. When the parents arrived in Shirdi, they bowed at his feet and, with choked voices, narrated their son's suffering and their own helplessness. They placed their complete faith in him, seeking refuge. The text describes Sai as the "embodiment of compassion." He responded by first reassuring them, telling them to be free from worry. He then provided a simple yet powerful remedy: He gave them his sacred Udi and instructed them to "smear it on that wound." As Chapter 34 conveys, his response was not just a prescription but a promise of protection and solace, assuring them that those who seek shelter in his Masjid would never face downfall.
