Who was the little girl Amani mentioned in Chapter 29, and what was her interaction with Sai Baba like?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 29

The story of Amani is introduced in Chapter 29 to illustrate the principle that receiving blessings from a saint is a matter of fortune. Amani was a three-year-old girl, the daughter of a devotee named Kondaji. She would come to the Dwarkamai after the morning meal while Baba was sitting near the dhuni. The chapter describes her as a naked child who would approach Baba, sit on her haunches, and place her tin box in his hands while asking for 'rupees, rupees!'. Sai Baba showed immense affection for her, kissing her, caressing her hair, and holding her close to his chest. This interaction, as detailed in Chapter 29, highlights Baba's deep love for children, even as the child's mind was innocently focused on receiving money from him.
