How did Sai Baba respond to Anna Chinchonikar's plea for the author's employment, and what kind of 'service' did He suggest instead?

When Anna Chinchonikar requested a new job for the author, Sai Baba's response was both reassuring and instructive. According to Chapter 3, Baba exclaimed, "He will get a job, damn it!" but immediately guided the author toward a different path, stating, "Now he should do my service; he will find happiness in the household." This service was not a worldly occupation but a spiritual one. Baba promised that by remaining devoted, the author's plates would never be empty, his calamities would be removed, and he would find an "eternal treasure."
