According to the explanation in Chapter 14, the three faults that are inauspicious for self-progress and difficult to overcome are lust, anger, and greed. To combat these, the Guru, in this case Baba, plans a one-syllable simple remedy for the disciple. This remedy is encapsulated in the instruction "Da," which carries a threefold meaning. It encourages the disciple to "be merciful" (Daya), "give charity" (Dana), and "be self-controlled" (Danta). By embracing these three virtues, the devotee is given a straightforward path to achieve victory over the powerful negative forces of lust, anger, and greed, ultimately leading to their own benefit and extreme happiness.
