What is Baba's fundamental advice regarding greed, as illustrated by the conflict between Veerabhadrappa and Chenbasappa?

Baba's fundamental advice against greed is to recognize that God is the ultimate master and owner of all things. In the story from Chapter 47, when Veerabhadrappa and Chenbasappa argued over the money from a land sale, Baba directly admonished them, saying, "Do not fall into useless greed and confusion." He emphasized that what was offered to Shankara (God) belongs to God, and any person other than the rightful heir, Gauri, who desires it will find only "dust in their mouths." Baba's counsel makes it clear that this property belongs entirely to God, and acting with greed invites divine anger, a core lesson he sought to impart to the quarreling men.
