What does the story of Dada Kelkar reveal about the true meaning of Dakshina or an offering to the Guru?

The incident with Dada Kelkar, described in Chapter 38, reveals that the truest form of Dakshina (offering) is the complete and faithful performance of the Guru's order. While offerings of wealth, grain, or clothes are common, the text states that pleasing the Guru by following His command is the 'real Dakshina'. Even when Baba gave Dada Kelkar, a devout Brahmin, the novel and difficult order to buy meat on a fasting day, his unwavering devotion was tested. This illustrates that obedience and trust, even when the command seems strange, is the ultimate offering to the Guru.
