How was the power of faith demonstrated in the story of Narayanrao's friend who was stung by a scorpion?

The story of Narayanrao's friend illustrates the profound power of faith. As recounted in Chapter 33, when his friend was in severe agony from a scorpion sting, they couldn't find any of Baba's actual Udi. In a moment of desperation and deep prayer, Narayanrao took ash from burnt incense sticks that had fallen beneath a picture of Baba. He considered this ash to be Udi in his heart and applied it to the sting while chanting Sai's name. The text wonderfully explains that the pain subsided immediately, not because of the ash itself, but because it was "considered as Udi from the path." This experience demonstrates that sincere faith can manifest miracles.
