As detailed in Chapter 35, certain individuals approached Shirdi with significant skepticism. They believed that "when saints begin to accumulate wealth, their saintliness is diminished." They questioned why they should bow to a mere human or give monetary offerings. These skeptics would resolve to go for darshan but were firm in their decision to neither bow at Sai's feet nor offer any Dakshina. However, the chapter emphatically states that this resolve was always short-lived. Upon the "union of Darshan," these same individuals would forget their pride and previous intentions, surrendering completely and bowing at Sai's feet.
According to Chapter 35, how did skeptics view Sai Baba's practice of asking for Dakshina, and what happened to their resolve?
