Baba's philosophy on wealth is clearly demonstrated in the story of the land sale involving Gauri, Veerabhadrappa, and Chenbasappa. He views wealth not as a personal possession but as something ultimately belonging to God. When Veerabhadrappa was anxious, Baba reassured him that "Wealth is like the dirt on your hands." However, when greed emerged, Baba firmly stated, "this property belongs entirely to God." As recounted in Chapter 47, he warned that trying to claim what is God's without divine permission would cause "God's anger." This illustrates Baba's core teaching that God ('Allah Malik') is the true master of all things, and human beings are merely stewards. Greed arises from the illusion of personal ownership, a confusion Baba sought to dispel.
Can you explain Baba's philosophy on wealth and divine ownership based on the incident with the land sale in Chapter 47?
