Chapter 29 states that Sai Baba was very generous but didn't give to everyone who asked. How does the text explain this apparent contradiction?

Chapter 29 of the Sai Satcharitra directly addresses the complex nature of Sai Baba's charity. While establishing his reputation for being abundantly generous, the text clarifies this was not an absolute rule. It states, "he did not give to everyone - no one knew his mind." Fakirs, beggars, and alms-seekers would always be at his door, but even though Baba was merciful, he did not give to all of them alike. The chapter explains this by suggesting a divine or karmic element was at play. It posits that receiving money from Baba was a special blessing reserved for the fortunate, stating, "Whoever's auspicious time had arrived - only for them this blessing of happiness." The touch of his hand was a "shell of fortune" not obtained by all.
