Chapter 29 introduces a story to illustrate the nature of receiving Baba's grace. In this narrative, Amani is described as a 'naked child of three years,' the daughter of one of Baba's devotees named Kondaji. She would come with her mother, Jamali, to the masjid after the morning meals. The chapter beautifully depicts her innocent interaction with Baba: she would sit on her haunches, place an open tin box in Baba's hands, and persistently ask for 'rupees, rupees!'. Baba showed great affection for the sweet and pretty child, taking her kisses, caressing her hair, and holding her to his chest, even as Amani's mind remained focused on receiving money from him.
Who was Amani, and what was her interaction with Sai Baba as described in Chapter 29?
