According to Chapter 41, how did Alli Mohammed acquire the portrait of Sai Baba, and what was his personal connection to it?

The story of how the portrait was acquired is told from the perspective of Alli Mohammed himself within Chapter 41. He explains 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 the collection, one particular portrait of Sai Baba deeply appealed to his heart, standing out as more attractive than all the others. Since Sai was already his worshipped deity and beloved in his heart, he felt an immediate urge to have it. As the chapter narrates, he paid the price in cash, brought the portrait home, and hung it on his wall, where he would joyfully take its Darshan daily, reflecting his deep love and reverence for Baba.
