If Sai Baba didn't give to everyone who asked, what principle determined who received his grace and material blessings?

The source material suggests that receiving a blessing from Sai Baba was not based on mere asking but on a deeper, spiritual timing. Chapter 29 explains that his charity was not distributed equally to all, despite his merciful nature. The text explicitly states, "Whoever's auspicious time had arrived - only for them this blessing of happiness." This implies that divine timing and individual fortune were the determining factors. The touch of a saint's hand was a "shell of fortune" obtained only by the fortunate, indicating that Baba's actions were aligned with a higher plan, granting blessings only when a person's karmic or spiritual moment was right, rather than simply upon request.
