Veerabhadrappa's greed completely clouded his judgment, leading him to disrespect Baba profoundly. When Baba clarified that the money from the land sale rightfully belonged to Gauri under God's authority, Veerabhadrappa became enraged. As described in Chapter 47, he accused Baba of wanting the money for himself, saying, "Baba, by establishing my wife's ownership in your mind, You want to swallow the entire amount and sit there for your own benefit." In the face of this baseless accusation and a "shower of abuses," Baba's reaction was one of serene detachment. He remained silent, reflecting on the "profound deeds of Allah-miya" and chose not to feel sad. This response showcases Baba's freedom from ego and his unwavering trust in the divine will.
