What happened during Kashiram's encounter with the Bhil robbers, and what does it show about his priorities?

As narrated in Chapter 0, while returning from a market, Kashiram was accosted by Bhil robbers. He did not object when they took some of his belongings. However, he fiercely resisted when they tried to take a small bundle he carried. The thieves thought it contained treasure, but it was just powdered sugar that Kashiram carried to feed ants, following the advice of a saint named Janakidas Baba. This shows his commitment to this act of charity was a higher priority than his other possessions. After being severely injured in the fight, his unwavering faith was demonstrated by his refusal to go to a hospital, insisting instead, 'Take me to Shirdi.'
