Chapter 29 of the Shri Sai Satcharita strongly suggests that Sai Baba's behavior was highly unpredictable and that "nothing was ever fixed." While he was known for his generosity, the chapter makes it clear that he did not give to everyone who asked. For instance, it is stated, "Though Baba was merciful, he did not give to all alike." With the group of Ramdasi devotees, he sometimes gave them a sweet and "sometimes he sent them back empty-handed." The text explains that receiving a blessing from Baba's hand was a matter of an individual's "auspicious time" arriving and that "no one knew his mind." This unpredictability is presented as a key aspect of his divine play and incomprehensible wisdom.
Based on Chapter 29, was Sai Baba's behavior, especially regarding giving gifts or money, consistent? Or was it more unpredictable?
