What happened when Damu Anna considered a business partnership with his friend, and how did Sai Baba intervene?

When Damu Anna contemplated a business partnership, he mentally offered a share of the profits to Sai Baba. Baba, being omniscient, knew Anna's secret thoughts and immediately advised against the venture. As recounted in Chapter 25, Baba lovingly told him, "We are not in anything (partnerships), Bapu." Understanding this sign, Damu Anna abandoned the plan. His friend, who proceeded with other partners, ended up suffering a significant financial loss. This outcome made the friend realize how lucky Damu Anna was to have been saved by following the Fakir's guidance, thus demonstrating Baba's protective nature over his devotees.
