From the perspective of Madhavrao and Tatya, Baba's purchase of the goats was illogical. How does the Satcharita use their worldly viewpoint to emphasize Baba's spiritual state?

The Satcharita masterfully uses the reactions of Madhavrao and Tatya as a contrast to highlight Sai Baba's enlightened consciousness. As Chapter 46 describes, they saw the transaction as a 'nuksan' (a bad deal) and became 'very agitated internally,' unable to comprehend why Baba would get 'cheated like this.' Their response represents a conventional, worldly logic focused on material gain and loss. In direct opposition, 'Baba remained calm within.' By juxtaposing their agitation with Baba's unshakable tranquility and his smiling response to their concerns about money, the text emphasizes the profound difference between a mind bound by worldly values and a consciousness established in divine peace and detachment.
