What was Sai Baba's philosophy on wealth and desire as revealed in his advice to Damu Anna?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 25

Sai Baba's advice to Damu Anna reveals a philosophy centered on contentment and detachment from the pursuit of vast wealth. When Damu Anna planned a venture to earn millions, Baba questioned his underlying need. As Chapter 25 narrates, Baba's message was, "Tell him in reply: what do you lack at home? Half a loaf of bread is enough for us; do not fall into the trap of millions." This shows Baba's view that one should be satisfied with what is necessary for sustenance ("half a loaf of bread") rather than chasing immense fortunes, which he calls a "trap." He saw Damu Anna's ambition as a sign that his "mind has gone astray," emphasizing spiritual well-being over material excess.
