How does the story of Damu Anna's failed business deal illustrate the nature of a Guru's protection as described in the text?

The incident with Damu Anna's business deal serves as a powerful illustration of a Guru's protective nature. Chapter 25 compares Baba's intervention to a mother giving a child bitter medicine for its own good, highlighting that His love is without any selfish gain and is purely for the devotee's welfare. Baba was not tempted by the offered share of profit. Instead, his omniscience allowed him to see Anna's hidden thoughts and the future disaster. By cautioning him with cryptic but firm words, Baba acted as the ultimate protector, warding off a calamity for his surrendered devotee. This event demonstrates the principle that saints manifest to guide and save the humble, and that their seemingly harsh or strange advice stems from a place of deep love and foresight.
