The text says Sai Baba's generosity was unpredictable. Can you explain this aspect of his nature using details from Chapter 29?

📖 Chapter 29

Chapter 29 emphasizes that Sai Baba's charitable acts were governed by his own incomprehensible wisdom, not by any fixed rule. It states, "he did not give to everyone - no one knew his mind." For instance, with the devotees from Madras, he might give them a sweet (bafri) one day and send them back empty-handed the next. The chapter presents this not as a whim, but as a deep spiritual principle. Receiving a gift from Baba's hand was considered a "shell of fortune" that was only obtained by the fortunate whose "auspicious time had arrived." This illustrates that his actions, including his generosity, were part of his divine play and not something that could be anticipated or demanded.
