During his first meeting with Sai Baba, Ratanji's heart surged with love upon seeing the Master. As detailed in Chapter 14, he immediately prostrated at Baba's feet. He then opened a basket he had brought, took out a flower garland, and lovingly placed it around Baba's neck. He also offered a weight of fruits at His feet. After making these offerings, Ratanji sat humbly and prayed, expressing that he had come with great hope after hearing of Baba's power to help those in great calamity. In response to Ratanji's prayer and offerings, Sai Baba's first words to him were to ask for an offering: 'You have come today; what Dakshina will you give Me? Then you will be fulfilled.'
