Compare the spiritual lesson Maharaj taught Kashiram regarding Dakshina with the advice he received from Janakidas Baba about feeding ants.

The spiritual guidance Kashiram received from Maharaj and Janakidas Baba served different purposes, as described in Chapter 0. Janakidas Baba's advice to feed sugar to ants instilled in Kashiram a specific charitable practice. In contrast, Maharaj's lesson was a direct intervention to correct a spiritual flaw. Maharaj observed that Kashiram had developed pride in his financial ability to give Dakshina. To remove this pride, which is an obstacle to spiritual progress, Maharaj orchestrated a 'Leela' where He relentlessly demanded money from Kashiram until he was financially ruined, thus forcing him to realize that he, Kashiram, did not truly have the 'power to give.'
