Describe the initial interaction between Ratanji and Sai Baba when the merchant arrived in Shirdi.

Following Das Ganu's advice, Ratanji arrived in Shirdi and went to the Masjid for Sai Baba's darshan. As described in Chapter 14, upon seeing Maharaj, Ratanji felt a surge of love. He performed several acts of devotion: he prostrated at Sai's feet, placed a flower garland around Baba's neck, and offered a weight of fruits. After Ratanji humbly sat and offered a prayer, Sai Baba's first words to him were to ask what Dakshina, or offering, he would provide. This was a typical practice for Baba, who would ask for such an offering from any devotee who came to see him, regardless of their background.
