What was Madhavrao's personal reason for refusing to give the 15 rupees Dakshina to Baba? Was he upset?

The source material from Chapter 18 does not explicitly state Madhavrao's personal reasons or emotional state when he declined to give the fifteen rupees. When the messenger conveyed Baba's request, the text simply notes that Madhavrao was "extremely surprised." His response was to offer "namaskar" instead of the money, saying, "tell Him 'namaskar'—this is our Dakshina." The narrative focuses on the event itself as part of the "play of this God," as Madhavrao later calls it, rather than delving into his specific motivations or whether he was upset. The exchange is presented as a curious interaction orchestrated by Baba.
