Regarding the friend of Kaka Mahajani who was averse to offerings, how was the subject of Dakshina handled during his visit to Shirdi?

The handling of Dakshina was a key part of the friend's experience. According to Chapter 35, the man had made a firm resolve not to provide any Dakshina. Sai Baba seemed to be fully aware of this. After the friend had already broken his first vow by bowing, Baba asked for Dakshina, but only from Kaka Mahajani, not the friend. This happened again when they were preparing to leave for Mumbai. Baba requested seventeen rupees in Dakshina, but again, he only asked Kaka. The text notes that Baba asked 'nothing of the friend,' which in turn caused the friend to feel 'restless in his mind,' subtly challenging his initial vow by making him feel excluded from the act of giving.
