What were the specific objections and resolutions of the people described in Chapter 35 before they met Sai Baba?

Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra outlines the mindset of skeptics who had heard stories about Sai Baba asking for Dakshina, or monetary offerings. Their primary objection was rooted in the belief that "when saints begin to accumulate wealth, their saintliness is diminished." They considered themselves worshippers of the formless and viewed bowing to a human saint as a "mockery of devotion." Based on these convictions, they resolved to visit Shirdi to have a direct experience but made a firm decision beforehand. As the chapter details, their resolution was twofold: "we will not bow at his feet, nor offer any Dakshina." They believed a saint with a desire for wealth was unworthy of their salutation, showcasing their pride before ultimately surrendering to Sai's divine presence.
