Based on the story of the pilgrims and the child Amani, what can we understand about the nature of Sai Baba's divine play (leela) regarding money?

πŸ“– Chapter 29

Chapter 29 uses stories to illustrate the incomprehensible nature of Sai Baba's divine play, especially concerning money. On one hand, Baba's fame for being generous was widespread, attracting crowds who heard he distributed money abundantly. We see this when he gives eight rupees and eight annas to the devotional singing group from Madras. On the other hand, the chapter emphasizes his unpredictability, stating, "This was Baba's constant manner - nothing was ever fixed." The story of the little girl Amani, who directly asks for rupees, is introduced to further explain this concept. The chapter suggests that receiving money from Baba's hand was a matter of fortune and depended on one's "auspicious time," not simply on asking or being present.
