How does Chapter 29 explain the seemingly contradictory nature of Sai Baba's charity, where he was both generous and selective?

Chapter 29 presents Sai Baba's selective charity as an aspect of his "incomprehensible wisdom" and "unfathomable divine play." The text explicitly states that while his generosity was real, his manner was never fixed; he might give money, a sweet, or send someone back empty-handed. The chapter frames this not as a contradiction, but as a divine prerogative. It posits that receiving a gift was a matter of grace and fortune, explaining, "The touch of a saint's hand - that shell of fortune was obtained by the fortunate." The story of Amani is then introduced specifically to convey the deeper meaning behind these seemingly unpredictable actions, suggesting that his giving was tied to a higher purpose that was not always apparent.
