Was Sai Baba always generous with money, and did everyone who came to him receive some?

While Sai Baba was known for his abundant generosity, his actions were not predictable. Chapter 29 describes him as a great saint who was patient, generous, and self-controlled, often distributing money to the poor and needy. However, the text clarifies that he did not give to everyone. It states that his manner was never fixed; sometimes he gave gifts, and sometimes he sent people back empty-handed. The chapter suggests that receiving a blessing from Baba's hand was a matter of fortune, dependent on one's "auspicious time." Thus, while his fame for charity was widespread, his giving was selective and inscrutable, and no one knew his mind.
