What transpired on Guru Purnima in 1916 regarding the author's future after his government service ended?

Following the completion of his government service in 1916, the author visited Shirdi on Guru Purnima. As detailed in Chapter 3, a devotee named Anna Chinchonikar expressed great concern for the author's financial well-being. He pleaded before Sai Baba, highlighting that the pension would be insufficient for the author's growing household and requested that Baba find him another job. Baba's response was profound, assuring Anna that the author would find happiness and never lack for anything as long as he remained devoted. This set the stage for Baba's instructions on true service.
