How does Kashiram's fierce defense of a bundle of sugar for ants relate to the earlier lesson he learned about the pride of giving Dakshina?

Kashiram's story presents a fascinating contrast between two forms of "giving." Initially, as described in Chapter 0, his offering of Dakshina was tainted by pride, the ego-driven feeling that "I have the power to give." Maharaj had to engineer a financial crisis to dismantle this spiritual obstacle. Later, during the robbery, Kashiram fiercely defended a bundle of powdered sugar. This wasn't about monetary value but about an act of selfless service—feeding ants as advised by Janakidas Baba. This form of giving was pure and egoless. His willingness to risk his life for this humble act, after being humbled financially, shows his spiritual evolution from a prideful giver of wealth to a selfless protector of a simple act of compassion.
