What philosophical paradoxes are raised concerning a desireless saint like Sai Baba asking for money?

📖 Chapter 14

Chapter 14 delves into the apparent contradiction of a perfected saint requesting material wealth. The text raises the doubt, "Why does a saint need money?" and questions how one can be considered desireless if he asks for money from devotees. It highlights the paradox for a being to whom "pebbles and diamonds, copper coins or gold coins, are of the same value." The passage further explores this by noting that a saint with supernatural powers and treasures at his command should have no need to be a "beggar for money," suggesting that if greed persists in a Fakir, their practice becomes a mere "constant worship of money."
