From the perspective of Madhavrao and Tatya, why was Baba's behavior regarding the goats so confusing, and what did they witness about the nature of true peace?

From the viewpoint of Madhavrao and Tatya, Baba's behavior was confusing because they operated from a worldly logic of profit and loss. As Chapter 46 recounts, they saw him pay sixteen rupees for something worth only two and logically concluded it was a 'bad deal.' Their agitation stemmed from this material perspective, leading them to blame Baba. However, through this incident, they witnessed a different kind of reality. Baba's reaction—remaining calm, steady, and smiling—was a powerful lesson. They observed his 'extraordinary' and unwavering peace, which the text calls the 'sign of supreme peace,' demonstrating that true peace is not dependent on external circumstances but comes from an inner state of detachment.
