What is the significance of the syllable 'Da' in Baba's teachings, and how does it relate to overcoming human greed?

The syllable 'Da' originates from a story where Prajapati gave this one-syllable instruction to his children: the gods, demons, and humans. As Chapter 14 explains, each group interpreted it differently. The gods understood 'Danta' (be self-controlled), the demons understood 'Daya' (be merciful), and humans understood 'Dana' (give charity). Since humans are described as being 'gripped by difficult greed,' the instruction to 'give charity' is a direct remedy. Chapter 14 states that Sai Nath, the ocean of mercy, stretches out His hand to pull humanity from the pit of greed, using this simple remedy for the devotee's own benefit and ultimate happiness.
