How did Maharaj test Kashiram's ego regarding his wealth?

Maharaj tested Kashiram's ego by orchestrating a leela focused on Dakshina. Chapter 0 states that Kashiram initially had a habit of offering his entire money bag to Maharaj. However, pride crept in, and he felt bad on days Maharaj didn't take money from him. To dissolve this pride, which is an obstacle to spiritual progress, Maharaj began demanding Dakshina relentlessly. He continued this until Kashiram's funds were depleted and he was forced to borrow. This experience made Kashiram realize that he did not truly have the 'power to give,' thus successfully removing the pride associated with his wealth.
