What does the story of the Ramdasi sect and the little girl Amani teach us about receiving blessings from Sai Baba?

The examples of the Ramdasi sect and the little girl Amani in Chapter 29 illustrate the unpredictable nature of receiving blessings from Sai Baba. The Ramdasi group performed devotional singing and sometimes received eight rupees and eight annas, while at other times they were sent back empty-handed. In contrast, Amani, a three-year-old child, would directly ask Baba for rupees, and he showed her great affection. The chapter highlights that receiving a gift from Baba was not guaranteed for anyone, stating that only when a person's "auspicious time had arrived" would they receive this "blessing of happiness." It was a fortune obtained by the fortunate, not something that could be demanded or earned through a specific action.
