Aum Sairam
Taking Dakshina [money] from his followers used to be an important part of Sri Sai Baba's style of guiding his followers.
Whatever he used to collect during the day, he used to distribute in the evenings. He used to give out specific but different amounts to specific people around him everyday; he used to pull out money from his pocket without counting. The miracle was that each person used to get exactly the same amount every day. No matter how much he used to collect everyday, by the next morning he used to be back being the poor fakir.
Once the British government wanted to tax the money received by Sri Sai Baba and appointed a secret agent to count the money Sri Sai Baba receives everyday. The agent used to get perplexed and frustrated because, according to his observation, Sri Sai Baba used to receive about 25 rupees everyday but he used to distribute in hundreds of rupees. How was this possible was the dilemma? When God walked on earth, as Sri Sai Baba devotees know, anything is possible.
Sometimes Sri Sai Baba's asking for money used to be to remind the devotees to pay off previously forgotten commitments or to highlight their weaknesses and bring change in them.
Sri Sai Baba used to say:"I never take money unnecessarily nor do I take from everyone. I ask only those that Allah points me to. Actually, the person that gives me money is planting seeds for a better future. Money is there to do good to others and to progress in the path of dharma. If money is spent only for personal comforts, such use of money is a waste.
What you have is given by God and now is being asked by God. By giving money the person attains Jnana and increases his devotion. What do I do with money? I give it back ten times more."
