Chapter 29 portrays Sai Baba as immensely generous, a 'great saint' who was steadfast in charity and righteousness. He would distribute money abundantly on a daily basis, not just for special occasions, giving ten rupees to some and fifty to others. However, the chapter emphasizes that his charity was not consistent or predictable. It states that 'he did not give to everyone - no one knew his mind.' For instance, he gave a group from the Ramdasi sect eight rupees and eight annas, but at other times he might give a sweet or send people away empty-handed. Chapter 29 teaches that receiving a gift from Baba's hand was a blessing reserved for the fortunate whose 'auspicious time had arrived.'
How did Sai Baba's generosity manifest, and was it consistent for everyone who came to him, according to Chapter 29?
