Can you tell me about the story where Baba asked Dada Kelkar to buy meat on a fasting day? It seems like a strange request for a devout Brahmin.

This incident is presented as an illustration of a profound spiritual principle. Dada Kelkar, a devout Brahmin who was perfect in his conduct and had great love for Sai, was asked by Baba on Ekadashi, a fasting day, to personally go and fetch meat. As Chapter 38 explains, this unusual order was a test of faith and obedience. The purpose was to demonstrate that the highest form of 'Dakshina' (offering) is not just wealth or material goods, but the complete and unquestioning performance of the Guru's order. By giving this command, Baba was making his devotee experience the principle that a disciple should not entertain doubts about the Guru's instructions, as this is crucial for spiritual progress.
