Can you tell me about Karnik's experience at the temple in Nashik and the lesson it teaches?

📖 Chapter 33

According to the narrative in Chapter 33, when a devotee named Karnik went for Darshan at the temple of Kala Rama in Nashik, he had an unexpected encounter with the saint Narsing Maharaj. The saint suddenly got up, held Karnik by the wrist, and demanded, "Give my Rupee." Karnik was amazed but gave the Rupee with joy, feeling as if Sai Baba himself was accepting it. The text further clarifies that the Rupee was taken by force, not just accepted. The lesson drawn from this event is that one should maintain and act upon the initial good inclinations that arise in the mind, as nurturing this first impulse is ultimately beneficial.
