Baba's indifference to wealth

[Guest guest]

Baba’s indifference to wealth:

Baba, to Balakrishna G. Upasani sastri: Will you give me dakshina?

BGU: I have no

money.

Baba: What is

that in your pocket? Give it.

BGU: This is a

silver watch. take it, Baba.

Baba: Do you

think you are losing by giving this.

BGU: Nothing

given to you is a loss.

Then Baba

received the watch and at once gave it away to some one present. BGU went on to

Poona and

there a rich friend, learning that he had given away his watch to Baba,

compelled him to accept a gold watch (without knowing the above words of Baba).

So, BGU was a gainer and not a loser by giving away his silver watch.
