As detailed in Chapter 36, Madhavrao (Shama) was present during the incident with the two gentlemen from Goa and was greatly surprised by Baba's apparent partiality. He directly questioned Baba, asking why he would accept a smaller requested amount from one friend while rejecting a larger voluntary offering from the other, causing disappointment. In response, Baba 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." He further explained his detachment from worldly wealth and made the profound statement that debt, enmity, and murder are karmic burdens that are not escaped even at the end of an eon.
