What is the proper attitude one should have when giving Dakshina, according to the principles outlined in the text?

The text strongly emphasizes the inner disposition of the giver. Chapter 14 repeatedly states that Baba's intention for accepting Dakshina was to purify the hearts of devotees from worldly attachment and greed. The most crucial element in this act is faith. The Taittiriya Upanishad is cited with the explicit command: "Giving should always be done with faith; that which is given without faith is not received." This highlights that the act of giving is not a mere mechanical transaction but a profound spiritual exercise. For the offering to be effective and for the devotee to receive its benefits, it must be performed with sincere faith and a desire for inner purification, as Chapter 14 makes clear.
