What happened when Sai Baba sent a messenger to Shama asking for Dakshina?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 18

Chapter 18 recounts an interesting interaction involving Madhavrao, also known as Shama. Baba sent a messenger to him with a very specific instruction: 'Take fifteen rupees as Dakshina from Shama.' Upon hearing this unexpected request, Madhavrao was extremely surprised and, instead of giving the money, he instructed the messenger to offer his 'namaskar' to Baba as his form of Dakshina. The messenger then relayed Baba's second instruction, which was for him to stay and talk with Shama for a while before they both returned, indicating Baba's deeper intention was to create an opportunity for spiritual conversation and fellowship.
