From Sai Baba's perspective, what was the fundamental problem with Damu Anna's plan to speculate in the cotton market?

From Sai Baba's viewpoint, the fundamental issue with Damu Anna's plan was that it stemmed from greed and a lack of contentment, which he believed had led Damu Anna's mind astray. As recorded in Chapter 25, Baba's immediate reaction was that Damu was "trying to touch the sky" and was not satisfied with what God had already given him. His ultimate advice to avoid "the trap of millions" and be satisfied with "half a loaf of bread" indicates that he saw the venture not as a prudent business opportunity but as a dangerous path of desire that would disrupt Damu Anna's peace for the sake of becoming a millionaire.
