Kashiram was one of Maharaj's total devotees who served him with body, mind, and wealth. The narrative in Chapter 0 highlights his diverse contributions, such as stitching a green kafni, providing chillum and tobacco, and regularly offering money. A key experience was a profound test of his devotion, where Maharaj caused him to lose his wealth and then demanded Dakshina to remove his pride in being a giver. Chapter 0 also notes that he was a cloth seller who, in a dramatic encounter, fought robbers to protect a simple bundle of sugar meant for feeding ants. Despite being severely wounded in the fight, his faith was so strong that he insisted on being taken to Shirdi instead of a hospital.
