The text makes it exceptionally clear that Sai Baba did not discriminate between people based on their wealth. Chapter 14 states emphatically, "Whether a great wealthy person or a beggar, poor, weak, or destitute—Sai did not know one as less or one as more." He would ask for Dakshina from everyone. In fact, to further emphasize this point and teach humility, He would sometimes command a great millionaire to go to a poor person's house and beg for Dakshina on His behalf. This practice demonstrates that in Baba's eyes, all were equal, and the lesson of humility was for everyone to learn.
Did Sai Baba treat the rich and poor differently when requesting Dakshina? What does the text reveal about his perspective?
