Sai Baba gave different but proper advice regarding money to those seeking self -realisation and to those leading a secular life. How ever his advice was not just a show of words but preaching after practice. for instance his renunciation of all sensuous delight and gratification is well knoen . He used to live in the open under a neem tree or in the dilapidated masjid or chavadi. His dress was a patched , long robe and piece of cloth tied on the head . His seat was a torn piece of sack cloth only .for food he used to beg around in the village . what better renunciation could there be than this?
Later on sai Baba 's fame spread far and wide , devotees startedpouring in great numbers. Some ardent devotees prepared a seat with soft cushions , decorated him with ornaments of diamonds and pearls and cast around his body embroidered silk shawls but Baba had no fascination for these. On the contrary many a time he used to pull them out and throw them away on anger. similarly ,every day hundred of rupees worth cash would be collected as a gift to baba , but he never kept a single rupee for himself. Insteadhe would distribute all the money thus received so that by the evening nothing was left with him
