The Satcharitra says the glory of Udi is 'based on experience'. How does the story in Chapter 34 demonstrate this?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 34

Chapter 34 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explicitly states that its narration of Udi's greatness is "based on experience," and it immediately provides a story to illustrate this principle. The chapter presents the case of the doctor's nephew and his incurable bone-cyst not as a myth, but as a tangible account of Udi's power where all empirical methods had failed. The doctor and his colleagues had exhausted all known medical treatments, representing the limits of conventional human effort. The family's subsequent journey to Shirdi and their interaction with Sai Baba becomes the "experience" that validates the claims about Udi. By narrating how the family turned to Baba as a last resort and received his grace in the form of Udi, the chapter transforms the concept of Udi's glory from an abstract belief into a documented, experiential event, making it feel "wonderful" and real for the listener.
