How did Shama react to Sai Baba's different treatment of the two men from Goa, and what was his argument?

πŸ“– Chapter 36

Madhavrao, also known as Shama, was present during the visit of the two gentlemen from Goa and was quite puzzled by Sai Baba's behavior. According to Chapter 36, Shama directly questioned Baba about the apparent partiality. He asked, "Baba, why do you do this? Two friends come together; you ask for and take Dakshina from one, but when the other gives it voluntarily, you return it." He expressed his confusion about why a saint would show such favoritism, accepting a smaller amount from one person while rejecting a larger, freely offered sum from another, causing disappointment. Shama even stated that if he were in Baba's position, he would not have acted in that manner, highlighting the conventional human perspective clashing with Sai's inscrutable actions.
