Chapter 29 suggests Sai Baba's charity was not always consistent. How does the text explain the unpredictable nature of his giving?

📖 Chapter 29

Chapter 29 presents a nuanced look at Sai Baba's charity, emphasizing its unpredictability. While it confirms that he would distribute money, it also states, "he did not give to everyone - no one knew his mind." The text illustrates this by noting that he might give some a sweet (bafri), while sending others back empty-handed. This was described as his "constant manner." The chapter offers a spiritual explanation for this inconsistency, suggesting that receiving a gift or blessing from Baba was not arbitrary but dependent on a person's fate. As Chapter 29 puts it, only for those whose "auspicious time had arrived" was this "shell of fortune" obtained from the saint's hand.
