What was Sai Baba's general philosophy regarding money and wealth for his devotees?

Sai Baba's teachings indicate that he viewed wealth as a potential calamity and actively worked to prevent his devotees from falling into its delusion. He himself would often distribute the money he received as Dakshina but never gave it to those who were solely seeking financial gain. As detailed in Chapter 36, Sai did not beg for money, nor did he permit his devotees to beg. He preferred his followers to cultivate an attitude of indifference toward money, believing it could prevent them from being caught in the 'glory of wealth.' This is exemplified by his relationship with Mhalasapati, whom he did not allow to accumulate wealth despite his poverty.
