Can you explain the contrast between Baba's outward behavior and his inner feelings, particularly with the little girl Amani?

📖 Chapter 29

The source text provides a beautiful example of this contrast through the story of a little girl named Amani. As detailed in Chapter 29, Baba would often show "feigned anger" towards the child, saying things like, "What do I owe to your father? Get up, or she'll follow after me. I've got useless freeloaders!" However, the text clarifies that this anger was purely external. Internally, "waves of love were surging," and he had great affection for children. This is demonstrated when he would take out a rupee from his bag and place it in her box, despite his outward display of annoyance.
