Based on the incident in Chapter 24, what was the underlying lesson Sai Baba was teaching his devotees?

The seemingly small story of the quarrel between Anna and Mavshibai carries a significant teaching. As Chapter 24 elucidates, Sai Baba's intervention was intended to impart a deeper spiritual lesson. By diffusing the argument by calling Mavshibai "Mother," Baba highlighted a path to avoid such conflicts. The text explicitly states that if a loving intellect, like the pure love between a mother and son, had existed between them, the quarrel would not have arisen, and the tendency for anger would not have manifested. The underlying lesson is that viewing others with a pure and familial love can transcend misunderstandings and prevent the rise of negative emotions like anger.
