Can you explain the conversation that took place about Annasaheb Dabholkar's retirement and his future?

Certainly. Chapter 3 details the events following Annasaheb Dabholkar's retirement from government service in 1916. On a Guru Purnima visit to Shirdi, another devotee, Anna Chinchonikar, expressed his concern for Dabholkar to Baba. He pleaded with Baba to find a new job for Annasaheb, worrying that his pension would not be enough for his growing household. Baba's response was direct; He stated that Annasaheb should now perform His service. He reassured them that by doing so with devotion, his household would find happiness, his calamities would be removed, and his plates would never be empty for the rest of his life.
