According to Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, when two gentlemen from Goa visited Sai Baba, a peculiar event unfolded. Both men surrendered at Baba's feet, but Baba's interaction with them was different. He specifically asked for and accepted a Dakshina of fifteen rupees from one of the men. However, when the second man voluntarily offered thirty-five rupees, Baba immediately rejected it. This action was perplexing to everyone present, including his devotee Shama, who questioned this apparent partiality, wondering why Baba would accept a smaller sum from one friend while refusing a larger offering from the other.
What happened when the two gentlemen from Goa came for Sai Baba's darshan, and why was his behavior confusing to others?
