Why did Sai Baba ask Dada Kelkar, a devout Brahmin, to buy meat on a fasting day?

Chapter 38 recounts that Sai Baba asked Dada Kelkar, a devout Brahmin, to fetch meat on the fasting day of Ekadashi to teach a profound lesson about discipleship. Dada Kelkar is described as elderly, highly respected, and perfect in his conduct and thoughts, so this order was a significant test for him. The text explains that true "Dakshina" (an offering to a Guru) is not merely giving wealth or clothes, but is found in the faithful "performance of the Guru's order." By asking a respected Brahmin to perform an act contrary to his personal customs, Baba was demonstrating the principle of surrendering one's ego and trusting the Guru's wisdom, which is the ultimate act of devotion.
