There's a story about a portrait of Sai that took a long time to be explained. Can you tell me about it?

Certainly. Chapter 41 recounts a story where the narrator and a priest named Ismu made a firm decision about a powerful portrait of Sai Baba. The narrator presented this image to its intended recipient but had to leave quickly as the person's meal was ready. There was no time to explain the long history behind the portrait. The narrator intended to tell the story 'later at leisure,' perhaps the next day. However, an unexpected and full nine years passed before the two met again. It was only at this chance reunion that the past history was finally remembered and the wonderful story behind the portrait could be shared, revealing a marvelous leela.
