How did Shama react to Sai Baba's handling of the Dakshina from the two men from Goa, and what was Baba's initial response?

Upon witnessing what he perceived as partiality, Madhavrao, also known as Shama, directly questioned Sai Baba. Chapter 36 recounts Shama asking Baba why he would ask for money from one friend but refuse a larger, voluntary offering from the other. Baba’s initial explanation was profound, shifting the perspective from a simple transaction to a karmic one. He told 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." Baba emphasized his own detachment from wealth and hinted that the event was tied to inescapable past debts.
