Why did Maharaj's demands for Dakshina from Kashiram change over time?

Initially, Maharaj did not typically take Dakshina but would accept a small amount from Kashiram. However, Kashiram developed pride in his ability to give, feeling sad and tearful on days Maharaj didn't accept his offering. According to Chapter 0, Maharaj recognized this pride as an obstacle to Kashiram's spiritual path. To remove this pride, Maharaj's divine resolve led him to start demanding Dakshina from Kashiram, especially after Kashiram began facing financial difficulties. He even instructed Kashiram to borrow money to give as Dakshina. This entire Leela was orchestrated to make Kashiram realize that he was not the true giver, thereby purifying his devotion.
