The provided text in Chapter 14 does not support the idea that Sai Baba's requests for Dakshina were for personal enrichment. While he would ask for significant sums, even telling people to take a loan, his motivations appear more complex. He would tell devotees, "Do not worry even a little bit; I will give you bags of rupees." He is also quoted as saying, "our only one is Allah," and that he rewards those who love him a hundredfold. This, combined with his practice of sending millionaires to ask for Dakshina from the poor, suggests his actions were more a test of faith and detachment from materialism rather than a desire for personal accumulation.
Based on Chapter 14, did Sai Baba's practice of asking for large amounts of Dakshina, even from those who had to take out loans, indicate a desire for personal wealth?
