According to Chapter 29, was Sai Baba's charity based on a consistent rule or was it arbitrary? Explain the philosophy behind his giving.

Chapter 29 suggests that Sai Baba's charity was not based on a consistent, humanly understandable rule, nor was it entirely arbitrary; rather, it was governed by his 'incomprehensible wisdom.' While he was famous for distributing money, verses 13 and 14 state that his manner was never fixed, as he might give generously one moment and send someone away empty-handed the next. The text explains this by noting, 'no one knew his mind.' The underlying philosophy, as hinted at in verse 16, is that receiving a blessing from a saint is a moment of grace. It was only when a person's 'auspicious time had arrived' that they would obtain the 'shell of fortune' from his hand, implying a deeper, divine timing beyond ordinary comprehension.
