The story of Appasaheb Kulkarni serves as a lesson on fulfilling one's intentions. According to Chapter 33, after his family gave one Rupee to a Fakir, who was Sai Baba in disguise, Appasaheb felt it was insufficient and mentally resolved to give ten Rupees himself. However, he did not act on this promise immediately. Later, the Fakir returned, but because he appeared as a stranger, Appasaheb became suspicious and hesitated. Even though he had six Rupees available at that moment, he did not offer them. This narrative illustrates the human tendency to make verbal promises but falter when the time comes to act, showing how Baba would test his devotees' resolve.
I read something about Appasaheb Kulkarni and a promise of ten Rupees. What's the full story behind his unfulfilled promise?
