How did Baba react when the village women took over the grinding from him?

Initially, when the four women rushed into the mosque and snatched the grinding handle from Baba's hands, he feigned anger and quarreled with them. However, his anger was not genuine. As Chapter 1 describes, the women began grinding while singing songs and praising his divine plays. Seeing their love and devotion, Baba's feigned anger quickly subsided. The text explicitly states that his 'anger turned into love, and a smile appeared on his face.' This shows that while he might test his devotees, he was ultimately pleased by their acts of love and service, even if their minds later became clouded by greed, which he then had to correct.
