According to Chapter 41, how did Alli Mohammed acquire the photograph of Sai Baba, and what was the significance of this event?

The story of how Alli Mohammed acquired Sai Baba's photograph is detailed in Chapter 41. Alli Mohammed recounts that one day, while wandering the streets of Mumbai, he came across a merchant selling various pictures of saints and holy men. As he looked through them, one particular portrait of Sai Baba appealed to his heart more than any other. Recognizing his own worshipped deity, he felt an eagerness to have it, paid the price, and brought the portrait home. The significance of this event, as the chapter explains, lies in its miraculous timing. This is the very photo that Alli Mohammed delivered to the author on Holi, just as lunch was about to be served, fulfilling a dream-promise from Baba. Chapter 41 presents this as a 'clear Leela' or divine play, showcasing Sai's ability to fulfill desires and orchestrate events in a humorous and wonderful manner.
