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