What were the different motivations of people who came for Sai Baba's darshan, and how did he handle their various intentions?

People visited Sai Baba with a wide spectrum of motivations, and a single uniform opinion among them was rare. As detailed in Chapter 14, some came with a pure feeling of devotion in their minds. Others came to test the saint, thinking, 'If he tells me what's in my mind, then he is a saint.' Many came with worldly desires, praying for long life, wealth, sons, and power. The text highlights Baba's 'profound style,' noting that even those who came to mock Him would have their bad intellect burned away and become devoted at His feet. His method, which included asking for Dakshina, was designed to purify their hearts, regardless of their initial motives.
