What does the source material suggest about Sai Baba's approach to financial problems, particularly concerning debt and stolen wealth?

πŸ“– Chapter 36

The texts from Chapter 36 illustrate Sai Baba's nuanced approach to financial difficulties. Regarding debt, he demonstrated a commitment to spiritual and moral accountability. He prompted one devotee to remember a forgotten vow to offer his first month's salary to Lord Datta, framing the collection of Dakshina as the 'repayment of a debt' rather than a simple donation. In a case of stolen wealth, another devotee was devastated after a trusted servant stole thirty thousand from him. Sai Baba knew the exact details of the theft without being told, including the amount and method. While the text focuses on his omniscience, this knowledge was the first step in addressing the devotee's distress, showing that Baba was intimately aware of his followers' material and emotional suffering.
