Was everyone who came to Shirdi guaranteed to receive money from Sai Baba? Please explain based on the text.

No, not everyone who came to Sai Baba was guaranteed to receive money. Chapter 29 makes it clear that while Baba was famous for distributing money, his actions were unpredictable and part of his 'incomprehensible wisdom.' The text explicitly states, 'he did not give to everyone - no one knew his mind.' It further explains that receiving a blessing from him was a matter of fortune and timing, stating that only for those whose 'auspicious time had arrived' would this 'blessing of happiness' be granted. Therefore, while many fakirs and beggars came to his door, his mercy was not distributed equally to all, making the receipt of his charity a special event for the fortunate.
