Based on the account of Ratanji's visit, how did Sai Baba typically interact with devotees regarding Dakshina?

Chapter 14 details Sai Baba's unique and seemingly demanding practice of asking for Dakshina (offerings) from visitors. When Ratanji arrived, Baba immediately asked him for Dakshina. The text clarifies this was his standard practice with everyone, regardless of their faith. The amounts requested were not trivial; he would ask for anything from a few rupees to lakhs and crores. If a devotee claimed their funds were exhausted, Baba would instruct them to take a loan. Paradoxically, he would also reassure them not to worry, promising to give them "bags of rupees" in return. This suggests the act of asking for Dakshina was less about material gain and more about testing faith and attachment.
