What was the specific logic used by people who were critical of Sai Baba's practice of asking for Dakshina, as explained in Chapter 35?

📖 Chapter 35

Chapter 35 details the logic of those who were critical of Sai Baba before experiencing his Darshan. These individuals, who often worshipped a formless deity, believed that saints and sages were simply human and that bowing to them or giving them monetary offerings (Dakshina) was a mockery of true devotion. They reasoned that when saints begin to accumulate wealth, their saintliness is diminished. As this chapter narrates, they had heard stories about Sai Baba asking for Dakshina and concluded that anyone with a desire for wealth in his mind was unworthy of their salutation, deciding to only trust their own direct experience.
