Why was Sai Baba so demanding with his request for Dakshina from the merchant Ratanji, and what was Gajanan Maharaj's opinion on this practice?

The provided text from Chapter 14 describes Sai Baba's practice of asking for Dakshina from all visitors, not just Ratanji. It notes He would ask for varying amounts, sometimes large sums, from anyone who came for darshan, regardless of their faith. The narrative explains that Ratanji was a very wealthy merchant, not a poor man. The text offers no judgment on this practice, merely stating it as a fact. Furthermore, the source material makes absolutely no reference to Gajanan Maharaj, so his opinion on this or any other matter is not included.
