Can you explain the spiritual lesson Maharaj taught Kashiram regarding Dakshina and pride?

📖 Chapter 0

Maharaj taught Kashiram a profound lesson about the spiritual obstacle of pride. According to Chapter 0, Kashiram was a devotee who felt a sense of pride in his ability to give Dakshina. He would feel hurt if Maharaj didn't accept it, which revealed an underlying ego. To correct this, Maharaj orchestrated a 'Leela' where Kashiram faced severe financial hardship. Maharaj then began demanding Dakshina, forcing Kashiram to borrow until he had nothing left. This experience was designed to dismantle his pride and make him realize that he did not truly have the "power to give." Once Kashiram fully grasped this spiritual truth, his financial condition miraculously improved, demonstrating that overcoming ego is essential for a devotee's progress.
