How does the principle of 'intent to give' factor into Sai Baba's practice of requesting Dakshina, as demonstrated in his interaction with Kaka Mahajani's friend?

The interaction with Kaka Mahajani's friend in Chapter 35 shows that for Sai Baba, the inner 'intent to give' was paramount, far outweighing the physical act of giving Dakshina. Baba explicitly told the companion, who had previously mocked devotees for giving, "In your mind, there was no intent to give; Therefore, I did not ask you." This highlights that Baba's request was a precise spiritual mechanism, not a material demand. By asking only those who possessed the readiness to give, He was facilitating their spiritual progress and helping them turn a mental state into a tangible act of surrender. The companion's subsequent eagerness to give without being asked, followed by Baba's advice to tear down the 'wall of duality,' confirms the transformative purpose of the entire exchange.
