From a devotee's perspective, why was receiving money or any gift from Sai Baba considered such a significant event?

From the viewpoint of a devotee, receiving a gift from Sai Baba was far more than a material gain; it was a profound spiritual blessing. Chapter 29 explains that Baba's giving was not a predictable or universal act, as he "did not give to everyone." Therefore, to be chosen to receive something directly from him was seen as a sign of immense grace and fortune. The text poetically states, "Whoever's auspicious time had arrived - only for them this blessing of happiness. The touch of a saint's hand - that shell of fortune was obtained by the fortunate." This implies that the act was a tangible confirmation of a devotee's auspicious moment and a direct connection to the saint's incomprehensible wisdom.
