How did Sai Baba handle the Dakshina situation with Kaka Mahajani and his companion?

πŸ“– Chapter 35

Sai Baba handled the matter of Dakshina with remarkable insight into the companion's inner state. The friend had made a firm resolve not to offer any Dakshina. As chapter 35 explains, when they visited the mosque, Baba asked for Dakshina but only from Kaka Mahajani. Later, when they returned to ask for permission to leave for Mumbai, Baba again requested Dakshina, specifically seventeen rupees, and again, only from Kaka. The text highlights that Baba 'asked nothing of the friend.' This deliberate omission, especially after the friend had already broken his other vow by bowing, caused him to feel 'restless in his mind,' showing how Baba addressed the man's internal condition without a single direct word about his vow.
