When Damu Anna considered a speculative trade, what was Sai Baba's specific response and how did it save him?

When Damu Anna was internally contemplating a business partnership, he mentally offered a share of the potential profits to Sai Baba. In response to this unvoiced thought, Baba gave two distinct replies. First, as noted in Chapter 25, He lovingly hinted, "We are not in anything (partnerships), Bapu," signaling His disapproval. When another thought about trading in rice or grain arose in Anna's mind, Baba responded, "You will buy five seers and give seven seers," clearly indicating that the venture would result in a loss. Understanding these signs, Damu Anna became dejected but abandoned the plan. This obedience saved him from the financial ruin that later befell his friend and the new partners in that same venture.
