Can you elaborate on the story behind the portrait that was presented to Sai Baba? It seems like it has a long history.

Certainly. The person who presented the portrait had a private and deeply held agreement with a priest named Ismu. As Chapter 41 details, their mutual decision was that this powerful portrait of Sai should be kept right there and offered by the presenter themselves. Following this firm determination, the image was presented to Sai. However, because Sai's meal was ready, the presenter had to leave quickly, planning to share the long story behind it at a later time. Remarkably, a full nine years passed before an unexpected meeting allowed for the past history to be remembered and finally shared.
