Was Sai Baba's charity predictable? Explain his method of giving based on the provided text.

No, Sai Baba's charity was not predictable. Chapter 29 makes it clear that while he would distribute money, his manner was never fixed. Sometimes he would give money, sometimes a sweet known as a 'bafri', and other times he would send people back empty-handed. The text emphasizes that he did not give to everyone and that no one truly knew his mind. It was considered that receiving a gift from his hand was a blessing reserved for the fortunate, signifying that their auspicious time had arrived. Thus, his giving was not based on a consistent rule but on his own inscrutable will.
