Beyond the material value, what was the deeper meaning or significance of receiving money from Sai Baba's hand?

According to the teachings in Chapter 29, receiving a gift from Sai Baba was not merely a financial transaction but a profound spiritual blessing. The text explains that although Baba was merciful and of a generous disposition, he did not give to everyone who asked. The act of receiving something from him indicated that the person's 'auspicious time had arrived.' It was seen as a sign of great fortune. The Satcharita beautifully describes this by stating that the 'touch of a saint's hand' was a 'shell of fortune' that was obtained only by the truly fortunate, highlighting the spiritual grace attached to his gift.
