Sai Baba demonstrated a profound sense of equality, making no distinction between the rich and the poor. As Chapter 14 states, "Whether a great wealthy person or a beggar, poor, weak, or destitute—Sai did not know one as less or one as more." This principle was vividly reflected in his practice of Dakshina. He would ask for offerings from everyone, regardless of their financial status. More strikingly, He would sometimes send a very wealthy person to beg for the offering from the house of a poor person. This action served to humble the rich and elevate the status of the poor, showing that in the eyes of the divine, worldly status is meaningless. This was a practical lesson in choosing humility.
How did Sai Baba view the rich and the poor, and how did his actions reflect his beliefs on equality?
