The Madras pilgrims offered two rupees and received two rupees worth of 'pallav'. What does this story tell us about the nature of exchange with Sai Baba?

The story from Chapter 29 illustrates that the exchange with Sai Baba transcends simple material transactions. While the pilgrims offered two rupees and received an equivalent value in 'pallav', the true reward was intangible and immeasurably more valuable. They received abundant blessings and a promise that "Allah will do good for you." This blessing manifested in a complete and hardship-free pilgrimage. The narrative emphasizes that Sai, the "wish-fulfilling tree for devotees," responds to heartfelt devotion not with material wealth, but with supreme compassion, protection, and the fulfillment of deeper spiritual wishes.
