How did Sai Baba's interaction with the two gentlemen from Goa create confusion among the onlookers?

The interaction was confusing due to Sai Baba's seemingly preferential treatment. As recounted in Chapter 36, two gentlemen from Goa came for his darshan. Sai Baba specifically asked for a Dakshina of fifteen rupees from only one of the men. However, when the second man, unprompted, tried to offer thirty-five rupees, Sai Baba immediately rejected the offering. This act of accepting money from one devotee while refusing a larger sum from his companion created a sense of surprise and partiality, leading Madhavrao (Shama) to question Baba about his actions.
