From a devotee's perspective, why would one give Dakshina to Sai Baba, especially if he demanded more than they had?

From the devotee's viewpoint, giving Dakshina was an act of profound faith and a lesson in surrendering attachment. As detailed in Chapter 14, even when Baba instructed someone to "Take a loan," he coupled it with the promise, "I will give you bags of rupees." This exchange tested a devotee's trust and their ability to let go of material security. The practice was also about cultivating humility, as even millionaires were commanded to beg. By participating, a devotee was actively choosing to shed their ego and demonstrate their love for Baba, who promised to give a hundred qualities in return for one offered to him, making it a spiritually enriching transaction.
