Chapter 29 states that Baba distributed money, but was this practice consistent for everyone? Explain the nuance of his charity.

Chapter 29 of the Sai Satcharitra clarifies that while Sai Baba's distribution of money was a true and regular occurrence, it was not predictable or given to everyone. The text explicitly states, "he did not give to everyone - no one knew his mind." This was described as Baba's "constant manner," where nothing was fixed; he might give a sweet or send someone away empty-handed. The chapter posits a deeper meaning, suggesting that receiving this blessing depended on one's destiny. It was only when a person's "auspicious time had arrived" that they would receive this "shell of fortune" from the saint's hand.
