Chapter 29 mentions that Baba's manner of giving was not fixed. How does the text elaborate on this unpredictability?

📖 Chapter 29

Chapter 29 makes it very clear that while Sai Baba's generosity was renowned, his actions were inscrutable and nothing was ever fixed. It states this was his 'constant manner.' For example, it mentions a group from the Ramdasi sect to whom he gave eight rupees and eight annas, but also notes he would sometimes give a sweet treat (bafri) or send people away empty-handed. The chapter explains that he did not give to everyone who asked, and no one could predict his mind. This blessing was reserved for those whose 'auspicious time had arrived.' This concept of inscrutable, fortune-based giving is a key teaching presented in Chapter 29 before introducing a story to illustrate it.
