What was Sai Baba's direct response and instruction to the worried parents upon hearing their plea in Shirdi?

Upon hearing the parents' pitiful plea, Sai Baba, described in Chapter 34 as the embodiment of compassion, immediately reassured them. He told them to be worry-free. His direct instruction was to take the Udi he provided and smear it on the boy's wound. Beyond the immediate instruction, Sai Baba offered a profound and powerful promise to them and all devotees, stating, "Those who seek shelter in the Masjid shall never face downfall, even at the end of an era." This response, as narrated in the chapter, not only provided a practical remedy (the Udi) but also a deep spiritual assurance of his unwavering protection.
