Can you tell me about the Sai portrait that was presented at the Maulana court? Why did it take so long to explain the story behind it?

The narrator of Chapter 41 recounts a story about a portrait of Sai Baba. After a private and respectful discussion with a priest named Ismu, they both made a firm decision that the powerful portrait should be kept at the Maulana court. The narrator then presented the image himself. He wanted to explain the full history behind this act to Baba at that moment, but he saw that Baba's meal was ready and there was no time for a long story. As mentioned in the chapter, he intended to tell it later at a more leisurely time, but nine full years passed before an unexpected meeting finally provided the opportunity to share the story.
