The text mentions Sai Baba was generous but also sent people away empty-handed. How does Chapter 29 explain this apparent contradiction?

Chapter 29 presents a nuanced view of Sai Baba's charity, addressing this very point. While it confirms he was a 'Maharaj of generous disposition', it also explicitly states, 'This was Baba's constant manner - nothing was ever fixed.' The chapter explains that although many fakirs, beggars, and alms-seekers came to his door, he did not give to all of them alike. This was not seen as a flaw but as part of his 'incomprehensible wisdom'. According to Chapter 29, receiving something from Baba's hand was a unique fortune, a 'shell of fortune' granted only when a person's auspicious time had come, making the act a special blessing rather than a predictable transaction.
