Can you explain the interaction between Sai Baba and the two visitors from Goa regarding the Dakshina? Why was it considered surprising?

📖 Chapter 36

The interaction concerning Dakshina was indeed surprising. As detailed in Chapter 36, when two gentlemen from Goa visited, Sai Baba's actions seemed unequal. He requested and accepted a specific sum of fifteen rupees from one visitor. In contrast, he outright rejected a larger offering of thirty-five rupees that the other visitor offered willingly. This was surprising because it appeared to be an act of partiality, treating two devotees who came together very differently. The incident was so perplexing that Madhavrao (Shama), who was also there, felt compelled to question Sai Baba about it, seeking to understand the logic behind accepting from one while refusing the other.
