How did Shama react to Sai Baba accepting money from one visitor but not the other, and what was Baba's initial response?

As detailed in Chapter 36, Madhavrao (Shama) was perplexed by what he saw as partiality. He directly asked Baba why he would ask for and take Dakshina from one friend but reject a larger, voluntary offering from the other, causing disappointment. Shama questioned this inconsistency. Baba's initial explanation was profound. He stated, "Shama, you don't know; I don't take anything from anyone. Mother Masjid demands what is owed, and the giver becomes free from debt." He emphasized his own detachment from wealth, questioning why he would need it, and asserted that some things, like debt, enmity, and murder, cannot be escaped even over eons.
