What specific criticisms regarding Sai Baba's practice of accepting Dakshina are outlined in Chapter 35?

πŸ“– Chapter 35

Chapter 35 explicitly details the arguments made by critics against Sai Baba accepting Dakshina. These individuals believed that "When saints begin to accumulate wealth, their saintliness is diminished." Their logic was that a true saint should be detached from material possessions, and a desire for wealth was unbecoming of a holy person. They considered giving Dakshina to be a form of blind faith and felt that a saint who asks for money was "unworthy of our salutation." This chapter highlights their resolve to visit Shirdi but to pointedly refuse to participate in the practice of offering Dakshina as a test of their own principles.
