How does Sai Baba define real wealth, and what is his general attitude towards money?

According to the source material, Sai Baba does not view monetary riches as real wealth. Instead, he considers material wealth a potential "calamity" and a "delusion" that his devotees should not fall into. His perspective is illustrated through his relationship with his devoted follower, Mhalasapati. As Chapter 36 describes, despite Mhalasapati's poverty, Sai did not allow him to accumulate wealth, even preventing a kind merchant from giving him money. Sai stated that he did not want his devotees to be "caught in the glory of wealth." Mhalasapati himself was not hungry for money but for spiritual goals, demonstrating excellent renunciation and contentment. This suggests that, in Sai's view, true wealth lies in spiritual attainment, devotion, and indifference to material possessions.
