Was Sai Baba's act of giving money to people predictable? Explain based on Chapter 29.

No, Sai Baba's charitable acts were highly unpredictable, as Chapter 29 makes clear. While it was true that he distributed money, there was no fixed pattern. The text explicitly states, 'This was Baba's constant manner - nothing was ever fixed.' He did not give to every fakir, beggar, or alms-seeker who came to his door. He might give money, a sweet, or send someone away empty-handed, and no one knew his mind. Receiving a gift from Baba's hand was considered a rare blessing, a 'shell of fortune' obtained only when one's auspicious time had arrived.
