According to the text, what is the significance of receiving a gift from a saint like Sai Baba?

The text in Chapter 29 portrays receiving a gift from Sai Baba as a profound and fortunate event, rather than a simple transaction. It suggests that the blessing was not for everyone, but only for those whose 'auspicious time had arrived.' The act of receiving something directly from the saint's hand is described metaphorically as obtaining a 'shell of fortune,' an opportunity reserved for the truly 'fortunate.' Baba's unpredictable giving—sometimes money, sometimes a sweet, and sometimes nothing at all—underscores that the blessing's value was not in the material item itself, but in the divine grace and timing behind it, which was part of his unfathomable divine play.
