In Chapter 35, we learn about a friend of Kaka Mahajani who was averse to idol worship. Before agreeing to travel from Mumbai to Shirdi, he established two firm conditions: he would only take Darshan of the saint but would not bow his head, and he would not provide any Dakshina. Upon his arrival, as he approached the mosque, Sai Baba saw him from a distance and spoke in a tone that perfectly mirrored the man's deceased father. This profound encounter caused the friend to melt inside and forget his resolutions, leading him to bow at Baba's feet. Later, Baba twice asked Kaka for Dakshina but pointedly asked for nothing from the friend, which made him feel restless.
Can you describe the conditions a certain devotee set before visiting Shirdi with Kaka Mahajani and how Sai Baba reacted to them?
