Upon meeting Ratanji, Baba immediately asks for Dakshina. How does this act relate to the advice Ratanji received to 'surrender to Him alone'?

The act of giving Dakshina serves as a physical and symbolic manifestation of the surrender that Das Ganu advised. As detailed in Chapter 14, Ganu told Ratanji to 'go and surrender to Him alone,' recognizing that true faith requires letting go. When Baba asks for Dakshina, He is not merely asking for money; He is providing the devotee an opportunity to practice detachment and trust. By making an offering, Ratanji transitions from a passive supplicant to an active participant in a devotional exchange. This practice, which Baba requested of all visitors, reinforces the principle that receiving grace often involves an act of giving, thereby externalizing the internal state of surrender.
