How was a man cured of a scorpion sting when actual Udi couldn't be found, and what does this incident reveal about faith?

Chapter 33 recounts a remarkable story where a friend of Narayanrao was stung by a scorpion, but they could not find any of Baba's Udi to apply. In desperation, Narayanrao turned to a picture of Baba and prayed. He then took the ash from burnt incense sticks that had fallen at the bottom of the picture frame, considering it to be Udi in that moment. He applied this ash to the sting while chanting the Sai Nama mantra. The text wonderfully describes that as soon as the ash was applied, the pain subsided completely. This incident reveals that the power lies not just in the substance itself, but in the unwavering faith and sincere feeling with which it is used.
