How did Sai Baba handle the two conditions set by Kaka Mahajani's friend regarding bowing and Dakshina?

📖 Chapter 35

Sai Baba addressed the friend's conditions with profound insight and subtlety. According to Chapter 35, the friend had vowed not to bow and not to give Dakshina. Baba overcame the first condition by speaking to the man in the exact voice of his deceased father, which emotionally overwhelmed him and caused him to bow spontaneously, forgetting his resolve. Regarding the second condition, Baba never asked the friend for Dakshina. Instead, he twice requested Dakshina only from Kaka Mahajani, including a specific demand for seventeen rupees before their departure. By not asking the friend for money, Baba respected his initial stance, yet this act of being ignored made the friend feel restless, showing Baba's unique way of teaching.
