Based on the text, what was Sai Baba's philosophy regarding Dakshina and his relationship with devotees?

πŸ“– Chapter 14

Chapter 14 provides insight into Sai Baba's unique approach to Dakshina, or offerings. He would ask for it from everyone, regardless of their faith, and the amount could range from a few rupees to thousands, even telling people to take a loan. This practice was a spiritual tool, not for material gain. Baba's philosophy is captured in his words, "if he gives Me one quality, I give him a hundred qualities in return," suggesting that the act of giving was a test of faith and surrender that would be rewarded manifold with spiritual grace. He also expressed a sense of divine detachment, stating, "our only one is Allah."
