How did the dynamic of giving and receiving Dakshina between Maharaj and Kashiram serve as a tool for spiritual transformation?

The interactions surrounding Dakshina, detailed in Chapter 0, were a profound lesson in humility for Kashiram. Initially, Maharaj would only take a paisa or two, but Kashiram's attachment to the act of giving fostered pride. To dismantle this spiritual obstacle, Maharaj orchestrated a 'Leela' by relentlessly demanding Dakshina until Kashiram's finances were depleted. This process was designed to shift Kashiram's consciousness from 'I have the power to give' to a state of surrender. The text states that once he was convinced he did not have the power to give and his anxiety about it vanished, his prosperity returned, indicating the successful removal of the pride that hindered his spiritual path.
