How did Sai Baba show his generosity, and did he give money to everyone who asked?

Chapter 29 of the Shri Sai Satcharita portrays Sai Baba as a profoundly generous saint who would abundantly distribute money. He might give ten rupees to some and fifty to others. However, the text makes it clear that this charity was not extended to everyone. While many fakirs, beggars, and alms-seekers came to his door, Baba did not give to all alike. As Chapter 29 explains, his giving was unpredictable, and no one could truly know his mind. The blessing of receiving money from his hand was considered a great fortune, granted only when a person's "auspicious time had arrived," making it a special and significant event rather than a routine handout.
