Can you explain the 'inconceivable cause and effect' that the author mentions in relation to Baba grinding wheat to stop a cholera epidemic?

The 'inconceivable cause and effect' refers to the spiritual, rather than physical, link between Baba's actions and their results. From a logical standpoint, there is no connection between grinding wheat and curing a disease. However, as Chapter 1 explains, Baba operated on a different plane of reality. The wheat was not merely wheat; it was the symbolic embodiment of the cholera epidemic. By grinding it in the mill, he was spiritually destroying the disease's power. By having the 'flour' cast upon the village boundary, he was effectively banishing the illness. The author, Hemadpant, was struck by this miraculous connection, noting how difficult it was to coordinate the apparent cause (grinding wheat) with the effect (cholera receding). This event inspired him to write about Baba's divine plays, which defy conventional understanding.
