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.
