What was the source of Madhavrao and Tatya's agitation in Chapter 46, and how did Baba's response highlight a different way of perceiving value?

📖 Chapter 46

Madhavrao and Tatya's agitation, as described in Chapter 46, stemmed from their conventional, worldly logic concerning money. They saw Baba pay sixteen rupees for goats worth only two and immediately condemned the action as a 'bad deal,' questioning why Baba seemed to have no value for money. Their internal turmoil and blame were based on a material perspective of profit and loss. In stark contrast, Baba's response highlighted a spiritual perception of value. Unwavering in His peace, He was not concerned with the monetary aspect but with compassion, ordering the goats to be fed. This showed that His values were not based on material gain but on a higher principle of detachment and seeing God in all beings, a way of being that transcends ordinary financial logic.
