If money is considered a 'calamity' by Sai Baba, what did he teach is the real treasure for a devotee?

📖 Chapter 36

Based on the principles outlined in Chapter 36, the real treasure for a devotee, according to Sai Baba, is not material but spiritual. He viewed wealth as a "calamity" and a "delusion" that could distract from the true path. The text highlights that a devotee like Mhalasapati was "not hungry for money; he was very hungry for spiritual goals." The true treasures are qualities such as excellent renunciation, contentment with little, and a selfless, loving mind surrendered at the Guru's feet. By protecting his devotees from the "glory of wealth," Sai taught that spiritual attainment, unwavering devotion, and indifference to material gain are the ultimate goals and the most valuable assets one can possess.
