Can you describe the relationship between Sai Maharaj and his devotee Kashiram, particularly regarding the giving and taking of Dakshina?

📖 Chapter 0

Kashiram was a devoted follower who served Maharaj with his wealth, regularly placing his entire money bag before him. As detailed in Chapter 0, Maharaj would initially only take a small amount, but Kashiram grew proud of his ability to give. This pride became a spiritual obstacle. To correct this, Maharaj began demanding more Dakshina precisely when Kashiram's finances were failing, forcing him to borrow until he could no longer. This divine play, or 'Leela,' was designed to make Kashiram realize he did not truly possess the 'power to give.' Once he learned this lesson and his pride was removed, his financial condition improved once more.
