The principle of giving was profoundly demonstrated by both master and disciple. Chapter 42 explains that upon hearing of Baba's Samadhi, Das Ganu came to Shirdi and, along with chanting, arranged a feast for the poor, known as 'Annasantarpan'. This act of charity honored Baba's memory through service. In a parallel display, Baba's own final conscious act, described in the same chapter, was one of charity. A moment before he passed, he deliberately reached into his pocket to give a gift of money to Laxmibai Shinde. Both actions highlight that giving and service were central tenets of Baba's path.
How did both Sai Baba and his disciple Das Ganu demonstrate the importance of giving around the time of Baba's Mahasamadhi?
