Chapter 29 presents a paradox: Baba was famously generous but didn't give to all. How does the chapter explain this?

Chapter 29 addresses this apparent paradox by framing Sai Baba's charity as a matter of divine will and timing rather than a simple transaction. The text confirms that Baba was 'steadfast in charity and righteousness' and would distribute money abundantly. However, it explicitly states that 'he did not give to everyone—no one knew his mind.' The chapter rationalizes this by proposing that only those whose 'auspicious time had arrived' would receive this 'blessing of happiness.' As described in Chapter 29, the touch of a saint's hand was a 'shell of fortune obtained by the fortunate,' implying that his gifts were a form of spiritual grace bestowed according to his own inscrutable wisdom, not a predictable response to every request.
