Since the text describes Sai Baba as compassionate and generous, did he give money to all the poor and needy people who came to him?

While Chapter 29 extols Sai Baba as the embodiment of compassion and notes his generous disposition, it clarifies that he did not give money to every poor or needy person who approached him. The text explicitly states, "Though Baba was merciful, he did not give to all alike." It further explains that fakirs, beggars, and alms-seekers would always be at his door, but receiving money was not guaranteed. As described in Chapter 29, the blessing of receiving something from Sai's hand was reserved for the fortunate, suggesting it was an act of grace dependent on his will or the person's destiny rather than a uniform policy of charity.
