I've heard that Baba's response to Damu Anna involved a lesson about detachment. Can you elaborate on that using the provided texts?

📖 Chapter 3

While the story of Damu Anna is not present in these specific passages, Chapter 3 deeply explores the theme of detachment as taught by Sai Baba. After being asked to secure a job for Hemadpant, Baba instead guides him towards service and devotion, which leads to true detachment. Baba explains His own nature, stating, "I alone am everywhere... With the feeling that I am everywhere, Where 'I' and 'mine' dissolve, what could be desirable to such a person?" This teaching, recorded in Chapter 3, shows that detachment arises from understanding the Self and recognizing the divine presence in everything. When this essence is understood, desires "dissolve like hail heated by the rays of the sun," which is the ultimate form of detachment from worldly concerns.
