What was Sai Baba's primary intention when he asked his devotees for Dakshina?

According to the teachings explained in Chapter 14, Sai Baba's primary intention for requesting Dakshina was not to accumulate wealth, but to purify the hearts of his devotees. This practice is supported by the Shruti (Vedas), which identify the act of giving as a technique for those seeking self-knowledge. Whether a devotee was pursuing worldly success or spiritual freedom, giving Dakshina to one's Guru was presented as a method for their own benefit. Sai Nath, as an ocean of mercy, extended his hand in this manner to help his followers on their path.
