Was Sai Baba's generosity predictable? Could anyone who came to him expect to receive money?

No, Sai Baba's generosity was not predictable, and one could not automatically expect to receive money from him. While Chapter 29 confirms that Baba was renowned for his generous disposition and would often distribute money, it also emphasizes the unfathomable nature of his actions. Verses 13 and 14 state that his manner was never fixed; he might give to some and send others back empty-handed. The text explains, "he did not give to everyone - no one knew his mind." It was considered that only those whose "auspicious time had arrived" would receive this blessing. Therefore, while he was famously charitable, his giving was an act of his own incomprehensible will, not a predictable transaction.
