Can you describe the incident with the goats and explain how Baba demonstrated his detachment from material possessions?

📖 Chapter 46

In an event described in Chapter 46, Baba purchased goats for sixteen rupees when they were only worth two. His followers, Madhavrao and Tatya, saw this as a terrible deal and became very agitated, questioning why Baba would allow Himself to be 'cheated like this.' In response to their criticism, Baba remained perfectly calm. When they insisted on an explanation for the financial loss, He demonstrated his profound detachment by saying, 'For Me who has no place or house to sit, why should I make a collection?' He then instructed them to feed the goats dal before returning them, showing compassion over concern for material gain.
