From the narrator's perspective, what was so unusual about seeing Baba grind wheat, and what did it signify?

The narrator's perspective, shared in Chapter 1, highlights the profound sense of wonder and confusion the event caused. The narrator's mind was 'filled with great wonder' because he could not reconcile the image of a detached saint with the domestic act of grinding flour. He questioned, 'what is this idea of grinding? Why this worry for someone who is detached and has no possessions?' Having seen many saints, the narrator notes this was a unique act. He concluded that the joy or purpose in this divine play was known only to Baba himself, emphasizing the mysterious and inscrutable nature of Baba's actions.
