What is Sai Baba's philosophy regarding wealth and his devotees?

According to the teachings in Chapter 36, Sai Baba views wealth as a potential calamity and actively protects his devotees from its delusion. He did not allow his close and devoted follower Mhalasapati, who lived in hardship, to accumulate any wealth. The text notes that Sai himself would distribute the money he received as Dakshina, but he never gave a single penny to those troubled by calamity who were only seeking money. He preferred his devotees to cultivate an indifference toward money, as he did not want them to be caught in the glory of wealth.
