What were the specific arguments some visitors had against offering Dakshina to Sai Baba, as mentioned in Chapter 35?

📖 Chapter 35

Chapter 35 outlines the specific arguments made by skeptical visitors regarding the practice of offering Dakshina. These individuals believed that saints should not accumulate wealth and that a desire for money diminishes a person's saintliness, making them unworthy of salutation. They considered the act of bowing or giving money to such a person a "mockery of devotion." Based on this reasoning, as the chapter explains, they would resolve to go for a viewing (darshan) out of curiosity but were determined not to offer any Dakshina or even bow their heads, preferring to test their own experience rather than rely on blind faith.
