How does the source connect Baba's practice of Dakshina to the authority of ancient scriptures like the Shruti and Upanishads?

The source material in Chapter 14 firmly roots Baba's practice of accepting Dakshina in the authority of ancient Hindu scriptures. It explicitly states that the Shruti (Veda) tells those eager for self-knowledge that giving Dakshina is a valid means and technique. The text further references the Taittiriya Upanishad, noting that its eleventh section also commands many types of giving. By quoting these scriptures, the author demonstrates that Baba's method was not arbitrary but was a simple remedy aligned with established spiritual wisdom. This connection reinforces the idea that overcoming faults like lust, anger, and greed through giving is a time-honored path to self-progress, supported by both Shruti and Smriti.
