When the parents of the suffering child arrived in Shirdi, they prostrated at Sai Baba's feet and, with choked voices, narrated their son's ordeal. Chapter 34 describes them pleading for Baba's "hand of protection" on their son's head. In response, Sai, referred to as the "embodiment of compassion," first reassured them completely. He told them to be free from worry and gave them a powerful promise that those who seek shelter in his Masjid will never face downfall. His specific instruction was simple and direct: "Take this Udi and smear it on that wound." This response highlights Baba's compassionate nature and his reliance on Udi as a medium for his grace.
