Describe the family's progression of faith, from trusting medicine to seeking help from Sai Baba.

The family's journey, as chronicled in Chapter 34, illustrates a significant shift from scientific reliance to spiritual faith. Initially, they placed their trust entirely in medicine, as the boy's uncle was a doctor. They consulted other expert physicians and surgeons and tried all known native and foreign treatments, including surgery. When every medical effort proved futile, their desperation led them to consider spiritual remedies, first by suggesting the worship of deities. When that also brought no relief, they heard of the great saint, Sai Baba. This became their final hope. They decided to travel to Shirdi, viewing it as a 'last resort' and reasoning that if Baba's Udi could cure incurable diseases, there was nothing to lose in trying to gain this experience.
