Can you describe the changing attitudes of the women in the story about Baba grinding wheat and the lesson they learned?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 1

In the story from Chapter 1, the women's attitudes undergo a significant shift. Initially, upon seeing Baba grinding, four women rush into the mosque, take the handle from him, and grind the wheat themselves while singing his praises. At this point, their actions seem devotional. However, their minds soon turn to selfish desire. Chapter 1 states, "thoughts began to dance uncontrollably in the women's minds" and they became "greedy to loot Baba," speculating that he would give the flour to them. Their greed culminated in them attempting to divide the flour for themselves. This prompted Baba's anger, and he rebuked them harshly, leading them to feel "very upset" and "humiliated because of their greed." The lesson for them was a direct and humbling one about the impurity of greed, especially when in the presence of a Sadguru whose actions have a far greater, selfless purpose.
