The text mentions that receiving a blessing from Baba was for the 'fortunate.' How does the story of Amani illustrate this theme?

Chapter 29 puts forth the idea that receiving a material or spiritual gift from Sai Baba was not guaranteed but was a special blessing for the fortunate whose 'auspicious time had arrived.' The narrator introduces the story of the little girl, Amani, to convey the meaning of this very concept. While many fakirs and beggars might leave empty-handed, this three-year-old girl could approach Baba directly, sit on her haunches, and demand 'rupees.' As described in Chapter 29, Baba's affectionate response, holding her to his chest and caressing her, serves as a living example of this principle. Her innocent, direct access to Baba's grace illustrates who the 'fortunate' could be, reinforcing that these blessings were bestowed according to his own incomprehensible wisdom rather than any set rule.
