Was there a consistent pattern to Sai Baba's charity, or was it unpredictable?

Sai Baba's method of giving was characterized by its unpredictability, as there was no fixed pattern to his charity. Chapter 29 explains that while it was true he distributed money, his manner was never constant. For instance, he might give a sweet treat to a family of Ramdasi devotees on one occasion but send them back empty-handed on another. Many fakirs, beggars, and alms-seekers would come to his door, and though Baba was merciful, he did not give to all of them alike. The text emphasizes that no one could truly know his mind or predict who would receive a gift, making his charitable acts a reflection of his unique and inscrutable will.
