Who was the little girl Amani, and what is her story as introduced towards the end of Chapter 29?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 29

The story of Amani is introduced in Chapter 29 to illustrate the nature of receiving blessings from Sai Baba. Amani is described as a pretty, three-year-old girl, the daughter of a devotee named Kondaji. After the morning meals, she would come to Baba in the masjid, sit on her haunches, and present him with a tin box, insistently saying, 'Baba, rupees, rupees!' The narrative highlights Baba's immense affection for children; he would take kisses from Amani, caress her hair, and hold her close to his chest, even while her young mind was solely focused on receiving money from him. This endearing interaction is presented as a prelude to a larger point about Baba's grace.
