Can you explain the perspective of those who were critical of Sai Baba asking for Dakshina, as presented in Chapter 35?

Chapter 35 sheds light on the viewpoint of people who were critical of Sai Baba's practice of accepting Dakshina. These individuals held the belief that "when saints begin to accumulate wealth, their saintliness is diminished." They considered a desire for wealth in a holy person's mind to be a disqualifying trait, making that person unworthy of salutation. Based on this reasoning, they would decide before even visiting Shirdi that they would not give any monetary offerings or even bow their heads. Chapter 35 presents this as a form of pride in one's own path and a type of false logic that ultimately dissolves upon experiencing Sai's Darshan.
