What was Kashiram's initial role as a devotee, and how did his experience with financial trouble change his perspective?

Initially, as described in Chapter 0, Kashiram was an exemplary devotee who served Maharaj with his "body, mind, and wealth." He took a vow to provide Baba with chillum, tobacco, firewood, and money, even offering his entire money bag. However, this generosity fostered a prideful attachment to being a giver. His perspective was profoundly changed when Maharaj orchestrated a period of financial hardship for him. During this time, Baba's constant demands for Dakshina forced Kashiram to borrow until he had nothing. This experience was a "Leela" designed to make him understand that he did not truly possess the "power to give." After this humbling realization, his anxiety about Baba taking Dakshina "completely vanished," and his financial condition was restored.
