Can you explain the story of Alli Mohammed and the Sai Baba portrait as narrated in Chapter 41?

Certainly. In Chapter 41, Alli Mohammed recounts his personal experience of acquiring the portrait of Sai Baba. 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 them, one particular portrait of Sai Baba appealed deeply to his heart, its attractiveness surpassing all others. Since Sai was already his worshipped deity, he felt an immediate eagerness to possess the image. Alli Mohammed then paid the price in cash, brought the portrait home, and hung it on his wall for daily Darshan, for which he had great love. This narration, as presented in Chapter 41, sets the stage for the subsequent miracle of how this very picture eventually reached Hemadpant's house on Holi.
