According to the account in Chapter 34, the parents of the afflicted boy from Malegaon went through a process of exhausting all other options before turning to Sai Baba. Initially, they relied on conventional medicine, consulting the boy's doctor-uncle and other expert physicians and surgeons, but the difficult disease showed no improvement. When these remedies reached their limit, relatives suggested worshipping deities, but this also brought no relief. It was only after these failures that word of a famous Avaliya (saint) in Shirdi, Sai Maharaj, reached their ears. Hearing that he could heal diseases with his sight and Udi, they decided to try this "last resort." This sequence, as detailed in Chapter 34, shows their journey from medical and traditional remedies to absolute faith in a spiritual master.
