How did Baba's attitude shift during the wheat grinding, and what can we learn about him from this?

Sai Baba’s demeanor during the wheat-grinding event was dynamic and revealing of his multifaceted nature. As Chapter 1 narrates, when four women rushed to take the grinding handle from him, he initially quarreled with them and displayed feigned anger. However, this anger quickly transformed into love. Seeing the women's devotion as they sang his praises, "a smile appeared on his face." This shows his appreciation for sincere love and participation in his divine play, or 'leela'. Later, his attitude shifted again to genuine anger when he saw the women's greed as they tried to take the flour for themselves. He sternly rebuked them for their desire to "loot" him. This incident shows that Baba could be playful and loving with his devotees, but he was also a strict teacher who would not tolerate greed and selfish intentions.
