When Hemadpant's government service ended, how did his friend Anna Chinchonikar try to secure his future, and what was Baba's response?

📖 Chapter 3

As detailed in Chapter 3, upon Hemadpant's retirement in 1916, his friend Anna Chinchonikar grew concerned about his financial stability. On Guru Purnima, Anna pleaded with Sai Baba on Hemadpant's behalf, highlighting his growing household and asking Baba to find him another job as the pension would not be enough. Baba's response was both practical and spiritual. He assured Anna, "He will get a job, damn it!" but immediately pivoted, stating, "Now he should do my service; he will find happiness in the household." Baba guaranteed that Hemadpant's plates would always be full and his calamities removed through devotion, shifting the priority from a worldly job to divine service.
