Can you describe the first interaction between Ratanji and Sai Baba in Shirdi?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 14

Upon arriving in Shirdi, Ratanji went to the Masjid for Sai Baba's darshan. According to Chapter 14, seeing the Maharaj filled him with a surge of love. He opened a basket, placed a flower garland around Baba's neck, and offered fruits at His feet. Ratanji then humbly expressed that he had come with great eagerness, having heard of Baba's ability to help those in calamity. In response, Sai Baba immediately asked him, "What Dakshina (offering) will you give Me? Then you will be fulfilled." This was a characteristic interaction, as Baba would ask for Dakshina from all visitors, regardless of their faith.
