Describe Sai Baba's reaction when the distressed parents pleaded for their son's life.

As detailed in Chapter 34, when the parents of the suffering child arrived in Shirdi, they were in a state of desperation. They prostrated at Sai Baba's feet, and with choked voices and pitiful faces, they pleaded for him to save their son. They expressed how exhausted they were from seeing his pain. In response, Sai Baba, who is described as the "embodiment of compassion," did not delay in comforting them. He immediately reassured the worried parents, telling them to be free from worry. He then gave them his Udi and provided a simple instruction: "Take this Udi and smear it on that wound." This interaction highlights Baba's immediate, compassionate response to the suffering of his devotees.
