Can you explain the story of Baba grinding wheat in the mosque? It seems like a strange event.

📖 Chapter 1

The story recounts a time when Sai Baba began grinding wheat in the mosque, a sight that filled onlookers with wonder since he was a detached person with no possessions. As detailed in Chapter 1, four women rushed to help, took the handle from him, and began grinding while singing his praises. They greedily assumed the flour was for them, but Baba became angry and instructed them to throw the flour on the village boundary. The true purpose was revealed later: the wheat symbolized a cholera epidemic. By grinding it and having the 'flour' cast out, Baba spiritually cleansed the village and drove the disease away, showcasing his unique and compassionate methods.
