Chapter 38 narrates a fascinating incident involving Dada Kelkar to illustrate the nature of a disciple's devotion. Dada Kelkar was a respected, elderly Brahmin who was perfect in his conduct and followed Vedic duties. On Ekadashi, a day of fasting, Baba gave him a startling order: to go to Korhala and buy meat, providing the money for it. This was a profound test of faith, challenging Kelkar's personal religious practices. The story highlights that the ultimate 'Dakshina,' or offering to a Guru, is the complete and unquestioning fulfillment of the Guru's command, which pleases the Guru more than any material offering.
Can you tell me about the time Baba asked Dada Kelkar, a Brahmin, to buy meat? What was the point of that?
