In the story of the land sale, how does Gauri Bai's attitude toward the newfound wealth contrast with her husband's, and how does Baba affirm her approach?

📖 Chapter 47

Gauri Bai’s attitude presents a stark contrast to her husband's greed. The narrative in Chapter 47 explains that while Veerabhadrappa got angry and accused Baba, Gauri Bai sought Baba's spiritual guidance. She approached him in the afternoon, entreating him not to be displeased and begging for his grace as his daughter. Her approach was rooted in faith and devotion, not attachment to money. Baba affirmed this righteous path by giving her "full assurance" that he would make her happy. This support was validated when Gauri later had a divine vision from Shankara, and Baba then gave her "appropriate advice to accept the vision," confirming her faith-based approach over her husband's material greed.
