Chapter 29 states that Sai Baba was incredibly generous but also that he didn't give to everyone. How does the text explain this seeming contradiction in his behavior?

Chapter 29 addresses this complexity in Sai Baba's charitable nature. While it establishes his fame for being a generous soul who distributed money daily, it emphasizes that his actions were inscrutable and not bound by any fixed rule. The text explicitly states, 'he did not give to everyone - no one knew his mind.' The explanation provided is more spiritual than logical. It suggests that receiving a monetary gift from Baba was not a simple transaction but a profound blessing. As Chapter 29 puts it, this good fortune was reserved only for those 'whose auspicious time had arrived.' The touch of a saint's hand in giving was a 'shell of fortune' obtained only by the truly fortunate, distinguishing it from ordinary charity.
