Chapter 38 recounts a fascinating incident involving Dada Kelkar, an elderly and devout Brahmin. On Ekadashi, a day of fasting, Baba gave money to Dada Kelkar and ordered him to personally go to Korhala to fetch some meat. This order was a profound test of faith for Kelkar, who was perfect in his conduct and Vedic duties. The story illustrates a deeper spiritual principle mentioned in the chapter: that the true offering, or 'Dakshina,' to a Guru is not wealth or material goods, but the complete and unwavering performance of the Guru's order, which is the best way to please Him.
Can you tell me the story of why Baba asked Dada Kelkar, a Brahmin, to buy meat on a fasting day?
