What was Sai Baba's response to the family's desperate petition in Chapter 34, and what does it reveal about his nature?

In Chapter 34, after the parents of the suffering boy made their emotional plea, Sai Baba's response was one of immediate and profound reassurance. The text refers to him as the "embodiment of compassion" who calmed their fears. He told them, "Now you remain worry-free," and instructed them to take his Udi and smear it on the wound. His simple, confident instruction, coupled with the promise that those who seek shelter in the Masjid shall never face downfall, reveals his compassionate, protective, and supremely confident nature. This interaction underscores the theme that complete faith and surrender to Sai are met with grace and a solution, even for seemingly hopeless problems.
