The devotee who was left disappointed was Damu Anna, also called Damu Shet of Nagar. As detailed in Chapter 25, he had written to Baba seeking permission for a business venture. After receiving Baba's discouraging reply, Damu Anna was crestfallen because his grand financial ambitions were shattered. He had been planning a deal where he believed he would earn one lakh, put half a lakh on interest, and 'immediately become a millionaire money-lender.' Baba's advice to be content with half a loaf of bread caused the 'fortress of his desires' to crumble completely.
