Chapter 35 details the specific reservations that certain individuals held before visiting Shirdi. Their primary doubt was about Sai Baba's practice of asking for Dakshina. They operated under the belief that "When saints begin to accumulate wealth, their saintliness is diminished." These skeptics, who often favored the worship of a formless God, saw saints as mere humans and questioned the act of bowing or giving money to them. As narrated in this chapter, they firmly decided to go to Shirdi for a meeting but resolved not to bow at Sai's feet or offer any Dakshina, viewing such acts as a "mockery of devotion."
