Amani is introduced in Chapter 29 as a three-year-old girl, the daughter of one of Baba's devotees named Kondaji. She is described as a 'naked child' who had a specific routine with Sai Baba. Every day, after Baba finished his morning meal and sat near the dhuni in the masjid, Amani would approach him with her mother. The young girl would sit on her haunches, place an open tin box in Baba's hands, and persistently say, 'Baba, rupees, rupees!' The narrative in Chapter 29 highlights Baba's immense affection for children, noting that he would respond by taking kisses from her, caressing her hair, and holding her close to his chest, even as her mind remained focused on getting money.
