As news of Baba grinding wheat spread, four women ran to the mosque. According to Chapter 1, they hurried up, grabbed Baba's hands, and forcefully took the grinding handle from him. Baba feigned anger, but they insisted and began grinding together. While working, they praised Baba's divine plays and sang songs about him. However, their minds were not purely devotional; they were filled with greedy speculation. They wondered what a man with no family or household would do with so much flour, and they began "building castles in the air," each hoping to receive a share. Their outward actions of praise contrasted with their inner thoughts, which were "greedy to loot Baba."
