Did Sai Baba give money to every person who asked him for it? Explain based on Chapter 29.

📖 Chapter 29

No, Sai Baba did not give money to everyone who came to him. While he was renowned for his generosity, Chapter 29 clarifies that his charity was not indiscriminate. Verses 13 through 15 explain that his manner was never fixed; sometimes he would give money or sweets, and other times he would send people back empty-handed. The text emphasizes that no one knew his mind and that although many fakirs, beggars, and alms-seekers came to his door, he did not give to all of them alike. Verse 16 suggests a deeper principle at play, stating that only those whose 'auspicious time had arrived' would receive this blessing, obtaining the 'shell of fortune' from the saint's hand.
