How did Sai Baba test Kaka Dixit, and what does this test reveal about the nature of a disciple's faith?

Chapter 23 recounts how Sai Baba tested Kaka Dixit by ordering him to bring a knife and kill a goat. This test was designed to demonstrate Kaka's unwavering faith, much like gold is tested in fire to prove its purity. The source explains that while Baba already knew Kaka's pure nature, the test served as proof for others. This event reveals that a disciple's path involves absolute surrender to the Guru's will, even when the command seems to contradict personal values, such as Kaka's lifelong practice of non-violence. As Chapter 23 highlights, for a true devotee like Dixit, the Guru's command is the ultimate authority, and following it provides an extraordinary surge of energy that overrides personal inclinations and fears.
