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

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 29

The story of Amani is introduced in Chapter 29 to illustrate the nature of receiving Baba's blessings. Amani was a three-year-old girl, the daughter of a devotee named Kondaji. She would come to the masjid with her mother after Baba's morning meal. The chapter describes how the little girl would sit on her haunches, hold out an open tin box, and ask Baba for "rupees, rupees!" Sai Baba, who had great affection for children, would respond by taking kisses from her, caressing her hair, and holding the sweet girl to his chest, even as Amani's mind remained focused on the rupees.
