During the robbery incident, why was Kashiram so protective of a small bundle that it caused him to fight back, even though it only contained powdered sugar?

This detail reveals the depth of Kashiram's commitment to his spiritual practices. The source material in Chapter 0 clarifies that the bundle of powdered sugar was exceptionally dear to him because he was following the advice of another saint, Janakidas Baba. This saint had advised him to feed sugar to ants. Therefore, protecting that bundle was not about its material value but about upholding his vow and the instruction of a holy person. His fierce defense of the sugar, an act of service to other living beings, demonstrates a profound aspect of his devotion that went beyond simple offerings to Maharaj.
