What was Baba's reaction when Madhavrao (Shama) was asked for fifteen rupees Dakshina and offered 'namaskars' instead?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 18

Chapter 18 recounts an incident where a gentleman was sent by Baba with a message for Madhavrao (Shama). The message was to collect fifteen rupees as Dakshina from him. Upon hearing this request, Madhavrao was extremely surprised and responded that instead of rupees, the messenger should convey his 'namaskar' as his form of Dakshina. The messenger, upon hearing this, did not press the matter of money. Instead, he acknowledged the alternative offering, saying, "Well, let it be. One thing happened: fifteen namaskars were received." He then urged Shama to come quickly to talk, fulfilling the other part of Baba's instruction, which was to sit and converse for a while.
