Chapter 29 emphasizes that Sai Baba's actions, particularly concerning his charity, were highly unpredictable and that 'nothing was ever fixed.' While it was true that he would distribute money, he did not give to everyone, and no one could ever know his mind. The text explicitly states that although he was merciful, he did not give to all fakirs and alms-seekers alike. For example, he might give money to some, a sweet (bafri) to others, or send people away empty-handed. This unpredictability is presented as a central aspect of his divine play. Chapter 29 suggests that receiving a blessing from Baba was a matter of fortune and auspicious timing, a 'shell of fortune' obtained only by the fortunate, rather than a predictable transaction.
Chapter 29 mentions that Sai Baba's giving was not fixed. Can you elaborate on this aspect of his character using details from the text?
