How did Sai Baba's followers react when he overpaid for the goats, and what was his response to their criticism?

As recounted in Chapter 46, Sai Baba's followers, particularly Tatyaba and Madhavrao, reacted with shock and agitation when he paid thirty-two rupees for two goats. They believed he was being cheated in a 'bad deal,' as a goat's price was typically two to four rupees. The text states they openly 'condemned Baba's action' and blamed him for what they saw as poor financial sense. In stark contrast, Baba's response was one of complete tranquility. Chapter 46 explains that 'Baba did not waver in the least; He remained steady in the happiness of peace.' He was the experiencer of supreme peace who saw God in all beings, so the anger and blame from his devotees could not touch him in the slightest.
