How did Sai Baba react when his followers criticized him for what they saw as a poor financial decision?

When his followers, Madhavrao and Tatya, became agitated and condemned his action of paying sixteen rupees for two goats, Sai Baba's reaction was one of profound calm. The text of Chapter 46 explains that while his followers were internally agitated and blamed him, 'Baba remained calm within, as if nothing at all was lost.' Despite their anger and criticism, Baba did not waver in the least and remained steady in the happiness of peace. This incident demonstrates that external events and the opinions of others had no effect on his inner state of tranquility.
