Chapter 29 introduces a story about a young girl named Amani to illustrate a point about Baba's nature. Amani was a three-year-old child, the daughter of a devotee named Kondaji. She would come to the masjid with her mother, Jamali, and approach Baba. Described as sweet and pretty, she would sit on her haunches, place an open tin box in Baba's hands, and ask for "rupees, rupees!" The chapter notes that Baba had great affection for children and would respond by giving Amani kisses, caressing her hair, and holding her to his chest, even while her mind was focused on getting money from him.
Who was the little girl Amani and what was her relationship with Sai Baba as described in the Satcharita?
