While Sai Baba asked for Dakshina, He also offered immense reassurance and promises of greater returns, both material and spiritual. Chapter 14 records Him telling devotees not to worry and promising, "I will give you bags of rupees; sit peacefully near Me." This illustrates that the act of giving was a test of faith that would be rewarded abundantly. On a more spiritual level, He stated, "if he gives Me one quality, I give him a hundred qualities in return." This conveys that the offering was a mechanism for the devotee to receive a far greater spiritual blessing and inner transformation from Baba.
