What was Sai Baba's primary intention behind accepting Dakshina from his devotees?

πŸ“– Chapter 14

According to chapter 14, Sai Baba's profound style of accepting Dakshina was not for personal gain but for the spiritual benefit of the devotee. His primary intention was the purification of their hearts. Many who came to him were deeply attached to the world, seeking wealth, power, or sons. Baba understood that the act of giving, or 'Dana,' was a powerful tool to counteract greed. The text explains that Baba's intention was that through the giving of Dakshina, the hearts of those attached to the world should become pure. This practice is presented as a technique, supported by ancient scriptures like the Shruti, to help elevate a person from the pit of greed and set them on a path toward spiritual progress.
