The text describes an incident where ash from an incense stick healed a scorpion sting. Analyze what this event reveals about the nature of faith versus the physical substance of Udi.

The incident from Chapter 33 involving Narayanrao's friend and the scorpion sting offers a profound lesson on the power of faith. When the actual Udi was unavailable, Narayanrao prayed to Baba's image and used ash from burnt incense sticks found at the bottom of the picture frame, considering it to be Udi. The text explicitly states, 'But being considered as Udi from the path, such was the experience manifested.' The immediate healing that followed suggests that the miracle was not inherent in the specific physical substance, but was catalyzed by the devotee's unwavering faith and compassionate prayer. It demonstrates that the feeling (bhava) and trust placed in Sai Baba can imbue even an ordinary substance with the sacred power of Udi, making faith the ultimate active ingredient.
