How does the practice of giving, or 'Dana,' serve as a remedy for human faults like lust, anger, and greed?

According to the teachings presented in Chapter 14, the practice of giving is a simple yet profound remedy for overcoming significant obstacles to self-progress. By asking devotees to practice 'Dana' (charity), along with 'Daya' (mercy) and 'Danta' (self-control), Sai Baba provides a one-syllable plan to combat deep-seated faults. The text explicitly states that lust, anger, and greed are inauspicious for spiritual advancement and that victory over them is difficult. Giving, especially when done with faith as commanded by the Taittiriya Upanishad, helps to purify the heart and pull a person out of the 'pit of greed,' thereby paving the way for attaining extreme happiness.
