How did Sai Baba help Kashiram overcome his financial difficulties and the pride associated with his wealth?

The story of Kashiram illustrates a profound lesson from Maharaj. As detailed in Chapter 0, Kashiram was a devoted follower who took pride in giving Dakshina to Maharaj. When this pride became an obstacle to his spiritual progress, Maharaj began demanding more and more Dakshina from him, even to the point where Kashiram had to borrow money. This continued until he was financially depleted and realized he did not truly have the power to give. Once this lesson was learned and his pride was removed, his financial condition began to improve, and he became prosperous again.
