One day a rich man who speculated in
gold on the stock market was present in Baba's durbar.
Baba introduced gold as a topic of conversation and said, "The
price of gold will go down in future." The rich man
said, "No Baba, there is no such possibility." Baba gave certain
reasons and said, "Its price will certainly go down."
The man got the point and sold all his gold at a marginal profit. Later
the price did go down and the man escaped a great loss. When he came to
meet Baba the next time, he offered him two thousand rupees as a way of
showing his gratitude. Despite all his entreaties, Baba did not accept
the money. After he left, a devotee told Baba that the money could have
been utilised for the ashram and temple. He wanted to know why Baba had
rejected the offer. Baba said, "He wanted to buy me with
that money."
