Was Sai Baba's generosity predictable? Did everyone who came to him receive money?

No, Sai Baba's generosity was not predictable, and he did not give to everyone. Chapter 29 explains that while it was true that Baba distributed money, his manner was never fixed. The text states, "he did not give to everyone - no one knew his mind." Sometimes he would give money, other times a sweet treat like a bafri, and sometimes he would send people away empty-handed. Though he was merciful, he did not give to all fakirs, beggars, and alms-seekers alike. The scripture suggests that receiving a gift from him was a special blessing reserved for the fortunate whose auspicious time had arrived, making the act more than just charity.
