According to Chapter 14, Sai Baba had a distinct and consistent method regarding Dakshina, or offerings. He would ask for Dakshina from every person who came for his darshan, regardless of their faith, be they Hindu, Muslim, or Parsi. The amounts requested varied wildly; He might ask for one or two rupees, or He might demand hundreds, thousands, or even crores. If a devotee claimed their funds were depleted, Baba would instruct them to take a loan. Interestingly, He would also tell them not to worry, promising to give them "bags of rupees" in return. This practice underscores a spiritual dynamic where the act of giving and surrender was more important than the material amount.
