When Damu Anna's letter regarding his ambitions in the cotton trade reached Sai Baba via Madhavrao, Baba's reaction was one of caution and disapproval. As detailed in Chapter 25, after having the letter read aloud, Baba remarked that Damu Anna's mind had "gone astray." He instructed that the reply should be, "what do you lack at home? Half a loaf of bread is enough for us; do not fall into the trap of millions." This response deeply disappointed Damu Anna, whose dreams of earning a lakh and becoming a millionaire money-lender were instantly shattered, making him feel as though he had kicked away a served plate himself.
