In Chapter 17, there is a powerful anecdote about a gentleman visiting Baba. Baba, demonstrating His omniscience, revealed that the man had fifty times more money in his pocket than he thought. When the man confirmed this, Baba told him to "Roll up your bundle of Brahman." By calling the money "Brahman," Baba was using a pointed metaphor to highlight the man's attachment and where his focus truly was. He then clarified that as long as the mind is obsessed with wealth and greed, the true knowledge of Brahman is impossible. Chapter 17 emphasizes that greed has an eternal enmity with Brahman, and this obstacle must be completely destroyed.
Can you explain the story of the man with the money and what Baba meant by calling the money 'Brahman'?
