My friend is skeptical and agreed to visit Shirdi with me but has some conditions. How did Sai Baba handle a similar situation with Kaka Mahajani's doubting friend?

The situation with Kaka Mahajani's friend, who was prone to doubts and suspicions, is a notable one. According to Chapter 35, this friend agreed to go to Shirdi on two conditions: he would not bow his head and would not give any Dakshina. Upon their arrival, Sai Baba saw the friend and spoke in a tone that was an exact imitation of the friend's deceased father's voice. This deeply personal and astonishing event caused the friend to forget his resolve and bow down. Furthermore, Baba later asked for Dakshina, but only from Kaka Mahajani, pointedly ignoring the friend. This act of being overlooked made the friend feel restless, demonstrating how Baba worked on his skepticism and ego in a unique and subtle manner.
