How does Chapter 34 illustrate the theme of faith versus conventional remedies?

Chapter 34 powerfully illustrates the theme of faith triumphing where conventional remedies fail. The chapter presents the case of a doctor's nephew suffering from a bone-cyst. The family first exhausts all possible medical solutions: the boy's uncle is a doctor, they consult other physicians and expert surgeons, and they try both native and foreign treatments, including surgery. When all these scientific and logical approaches fail, they turn to spiritual means as a last resort by seeking out Sai Baba. As described in Chapter 34, their decision to go to Shirdi was based on hearing that Baba's Udi could cure incurable diseases. This narrative highlights a journey from reliance on worldly expertise to surrendering with complete devotion to a higher, spiritual power.
