Who was the little girl Amani, and what is her story in Chapter 29?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 29

The story of Amani is introduced in Chapter 29 to illustrate Sai Baba's nature. Amani was a three-year-old girl, the daughter of a devotee named Kondaji. She would come to the masjid after morning meals while Baba was sitting near the dhuni. The text vividly describes how the naked child would sit on her haunches, place an open tin box in Baba's hands, and say "Baba, rupees, rupees!" Chapter 29 notes Baba's great affection for children; he would respond by taking kisses, caressing her hair, and holding the sweet and pretty girl to his chest, even as her mind was focused on receiving money.
