What was the spiritual reasoning behind why Sai Baba was selective with his charity?

Chapter 29 explains that Sai Baba's charity, while abundant, was not given to everyone indiscriminately. Though he was merciful and many fakirs, beggars, and alms-seekers came to his door, he did not give to all of them. The text presents a spiritual philosophy behind this selectivity, stating that only those whose 'auspicious time had arrived' would receive the blessing of his charity. Obtaining something from the 'touch of a saint's hand' was considered a 'shell of fortune' that was only obtained by the truly fortunate. This illustrates that his actions were not random but were guided by an incomprehensible wisdom, and his giving was a form of grace bestowed upon specific individuals at the right moment.
