The handling of Dakshina was quite specific and highlights Sai Baba's unique methods. Chapter 35 recounts that after the friend had already broken his resolve and bowed, Baba asked for Dakshina, but only from Kaka Mahajani. Later, when they were about to leave for Mumbai, Baba again requested Dakshina, asking Kaka specifically for seventeen rupees. Throughout these interactions, Baba asked for nothing from the friend. This selective exclusion had a notable effect on the friend; having initially resolved not to give any Dakshina, he now "felt restless in his mind" at being ignored in this manner.
How was the matter of Dakshina handled with Kaka Mahajani and his friend, and what was the friend's reaction?
