How does Chapter 29 reconcile Sai Baba's reputation for immense generosity with the fact that he did not give to everyone who asked?

Chapter 29 presents a nuanced view of Sai Baba's charity. It first establishes his fame as a great saint who was patient, generous, and steadfast in righteousness, distributing money abundantly to the poor, needy, and pilgrims. However, the chapter then clarifies that this generosity was not indiscriminate. It states that his manner was not fixed and that "no one knew his mind." The text resolves this apparent contradiction by introducing a spiritual dimension, explaining that receiving something from Baba's hand was a matter of fortune and auspicious timing. As Chapter 29 puts it, "The touch of a saint's hand - that shell of fortune was obtained by the fortunate," indicating his giving was a manifestation of his incomprehensible wisdom rather than simple charity.
