How did Sai Baba's requests for Dakshina vary, and what would he say to those who gave?

Sai Baba's requests for Dakshina were not uniform and could be quite demanding. Chapter 14 describes how He would ask for vastly different sums, from one or two rupees to hundreds, thousands, and even crores, choosing the amount as He pleased. He would often push devotees to give more, telling them to "Bring more" or even to "Take a loan" if they ran out. However, He also offered great reassurance. To those from whom He asked, Baba would say, "Do not worry even a little bit; I will give you bags of rupees; sit peacefully near Me." This shows that the act of giving was tied to a promise of receiving blessings in abundance, as mentioned in Chapter 14.
