I read about a little girl named Amani in Chapter 29. What is her story and how did she interact with Sai Baba?

📖 Chapter 29

The story of Amani is used in Chapter 29 to illustrate Sai Baba's affectionate nature and his interactions with children. Amani is described as a "naked child of three years," the daughter of a devotee named Kondaji. She would come to the masjid with her mother after Baba's morning meal. The text vividly portrays her approaching Baba, sitting on her haunches, and placing her open tin box in his hands while saying "Baba, rupees, rupees!" This shows a very familiar and innocent interaction. Chapter 29 highlights that Baba had "great affection for children" and would respond by giving Amani kisses, caressing her hair, and holding her to his chest, even as her mind was focused on getting rupees from him.
