According to the teachings in Chapter 14, Sai Baba made no distinction between the wealthy and the poor. The source states, "Whether a great wealthy person or a beggar, poor, weak, or destitute—Sai did not know one as less or one as more." In fact, he would often challenge social norms by commanding a great millionaire to go to a poor person's house to beg for Dakshina on his behalf. The essence of this surprising instruction was to teach his devotees, particularly the wealthy, to embrace humility and see beyond material status, reinforcing his egalitarian spiritual view.
It seems strange for a saint to ask for money. How did Sai Baba treat the rich and poor differently when asking for Dakshina?
