What was Sai Baba's advice to Damu Anna regarding his proposed venture into the cotton trade?

📖 Chapter 25

When Damu Anna of Nagar sought Sai Baba's permission for a business venture in the cotton trade, hoping to earn millions, Baba strongly advised against it. As detailed in Chapter 25, after Shama presented the letter, Baba dictated a reply stating that Damu Anna's mind had gone astray. The core of the advice was to practice contentment and avoid chasing immense wealth. Baba famously stated, "Half a loaf of bread is enough for us; do not fall into the trap of millions." This counsel was intended to steer Damu Anna away from what Baba saw as a risky and spiritually distracting ambition.
