Sai Baba's method of taking Dakshina was a powerful demonstration of His belief in absolute equality. Chapter 14 explicitly states that for Sai, there was no difference between a great wealthy person and a beggar; He saw them all as the same. He requested Dakshina from every person who came for darshan, regardless of their social standing or religion. More profoundly, He would completely invert social norms by ordering a rich person to go and beg from the poor. This act underscored His teaching that everyone was equal in His eyes and that humility, not wealth, was the quality He valued.
