Why does Chapter 29 introduce the story about Amani after describing Baba's unpredictable charity?

πŸ“– Chapter 29

Chapter 29 first establishes that Sai Baba's charitable giving, while abundant, was highly unpredictable and that no one knew his mind on the matter. To help readers understand this complex spiritual dynamic, the narrator explicitly states, "To convey the meaning of this, here is a story. Listeners will be satisfied upon hearing it." The story of the little girl Amani is therefore presented as a specific illustration of the principle that receiving a blessing from Baba was not automatic but depended on one's fortune and the arrival of an "auspicious time." It serves as a narrative tool to explain Baba's incomprehensible wisdom and divine play.
