Can you explain the spiritual lesson behind Maharaj's interactions with Kashiram regarding Dakshina?

The story of Kashiram illustrates how Maharaj worked to remove spiritual obstacles from his devotees' paths. Initially, Kashiram was very eager to give Dakshina, but this developed into pride, a feeling that he had the power to give. As Chapter 0 explains, Maharaj saw this pride as an obstacle to Kashiram's spiritual progress. To remove it, Maharaj began demanding more and more Dakshina, pushing Kashiram into financial hardship and even debt. This entire leela continued until Kashiram realized he did not have the power to give. Once this humility was achieved, his financial situation improved, demonstrating God's resolve to aid a devotee's spiritual journey.
