How did Sai Baba's method of asking for Dakshina demonstrate his belief in the equality of all people?

Sai Baba's practice of requesting Dakshina was a clear and consistent demonstration of his principle of equality. According to Chapter 14, he would ask for offerings from every person who came for his darshan, regardless of their background, be they 'Hindu, Muslim, or Parsi.' The text emphasizes that to Sai, there was no difference between 'a great wealthy person or a beggar, poor, weak, or destitute.' He did not know one as less or more. By asking for large sums from the rich and sometimes sending them to beg from the poor, he actively dismantled social hierarchies and taught that humility and devotion were what truly mattered, not worldly status.
