Can you describe the interaction between Ratanji and Sai Baba regarding Dakshina?

πŸ“– Chapter 14

As detailed in Chapter 14, when Ratanji visited Shirdi, he prostrated at Sai Baba's feet and offered a flower garland and fruits. Ratanji expressed his belief that Baba protects people from great calamity. In response, Baba immediately asked him, 'You have come today; what Dakshina will you give Me?' This was consistent with Baba's usual practice of asking for an offering from anyone who came for darshan, whether they were Hindu, Muslim, or Parsi. The chapter notes that this request was the first step in the interaction, setting the stage for the spiritual lesson on giving.
