Who was the little girl Amani and what was her unique interaction with Sai Baba?

Amani was a three-year-old girl, the daughter of a devotee named Kondaji, whose story is told in Chapter 29. She would approach Sai Baba with her mother, Jamali, while he was sitting by the dhuni in the masjid. The naked child would sit on her haunches, place an open tin box in Baba's hands, and say 'Baba, rupees, rupees!' while holding his hand. The text highlights Baba's great affection for children, noting that he would kiss Amani, caress her hair, and hold her to his chest, even as her young mind was focused solely on getting money from him.
