Chapter 29 describes a diverse crowd of people who came to see Sai Baba. These included a group of traveling devotees from Madras who were on a pilgrimage, a family of four consisting of a man, his wife, daughter, and mother-in-law, and various performers, singers, and bards. Baba's interactions with these visitors varied significantly. As the chapter notes, he gave the Madras group eight rupees and eight annas for their devotional singing. However, it also states that his manner was not fixed; he would give money to some, like the poor and destitute, but send others away empty-handed. His interaction with the child Amani was one of pure affection, holding her close even as she asked for rupees, illustrating his unpredictable yet deeply compassionate nature.
