How did Sai Baba provide relief to Dattopant of Harda, who had lost hope after years of suffering?

Dattopant had been tormented by a stomach ache for fourteen long years and had exhausted all remedies, feeling he had no strength left to endure. As detailed in Chapter 13, he journeyed to Shirdi and placed his hope in Sai Baba. Baba's method of providing relief was profound yet simple. He placed his hand on Dattopant's head, offered him Vibhuti (sacred ash), and gave his blessings. This act alone brought immediate ease to Dattopant's heart. By having him stay for a few days, the stomach ache vanished completely, demonstrating that a saint's look of love and their prasad can eradicate disease where all other remedies have failed.
