What was Sai Baba's direct response and instruction to the parents who came seeking a cure for their son's bone-cyst?

When the desperate parents pleaded for their son's life, Sai Baba's reaction was one of immediate compassion and reassurance. As Chapter 34 narrates, Sai, the embodiment of compassion, told them to become worry-free. He gave them a profound assurance, stating that those who seek shelter in the Masjid shall never face downfall. Rather than a complex procedure, his instruction was simple and direct. He told them, "Take this Udi and smear it on that wound." This response highlights Baba's method of healing, which relied not on elaborate rituals but on the simple, faith-infused application of the sacred Udi.
