As detailed in Chapter 14, people approached Sai Baba with a wide spectrum of attitudes and intentions. Some came with pure devotion, while others arrived to test him, mock him, or pray for worldly things like wealth, power, and children. Baba's style was described as profoundly strange and effective; even those who came to mock him would find their bad intellect burned away, leading them to become devoted at his feet. He recognized that many were attached to the world, and he used the practice of asking for Dakshina as a tool to help them achieve purity of heart and overcome their attachments.
