How does Sai Baba's unpredictable method of giving alms in Chapter 29 reflect his 'incomprehensible wisdom'?

📖 Chapter 29

Chapter 29 portrays Sai Baba's unpredictable charity as a direct manifestation of his 'incomprehensible wisdom.' His actions—giving generously to some, giving a small sweet to others, or giving nothing at all—were never fixed. The chapter states, "nothing was ever fixed" and "no one knew his mind." This wasn't arbitrary but a deliberate spiritual teaching. By being unpredictable, Baba taught that receiving a material gift was not the goal; rather, the blessing was in the grace of the saint. As Chapter 29 explains, a gift was only given when a person's "auspicious time had arrived." This divine discretion detached devotees from material expectations and reinforced the idea that spiritual fortune, not worldly wealth, was the true treasure to be sought from a Sadguru.
