What is the story about Appasaheb and his promise to give ten rupees to a Fakir?

The story of Appasaheb highlights the importance of fulfilling one's spoken word in devotion. As narrated in Chapter 33, Appasaheb felt that the one Rupee his family had given to the Fakir (Sai Baba) was insufficient. He declared that if he had been there, he would have given ten Rupees. This created a spiritual debt. Later, a Fakir, implied to be Baba in disguise, came to collect on this promise. However, because this Fakir was a stranger, Appasaheb grew suspicious and hesitated to give the money, even though he had six Rupees on hand at that moment. This incident serves as a lesson on how devotees can make grand verbal promises but then waver when it is time to act.
