What is the significance of giving Dakshina to Baba and how does it benefit the devotee?

According to the teachings explained in Chapter 14, the practice of giving Dakshina was not for Baba's personal gain, but for the devotee's own benefit. The primary intention was to purify the hearts of those who gave. The scriptures, or Shruti, are cited to support the idea that giving is a technique for those eager for self-knowledge. Whether a devotee seeks worldly gain or spiritual liberation, giving Dakshina to their Guru is presented as a beneficial act. Sai Nath, described as an ocean of mercy, specifically uses this method to help pull the greed-oriented person up from the pit of greed, demonstrating that the practice is designed for the devotee's ultimate welfare.
