Baba's interaction with the women who helped him grind wheat showed a range of emotions, as described in Chapter 1. Initially, when the four women hurried into the mosque and took the grinding handle from him, Baba quarreled with them, but the text notes his anger was "feigned." Seeing their love and devotion as they sang his praises while grinding, his feigned anger subsided and "a smile appeared on his face." However, his demeanor changed dramatically when their work was done. As the women greedily attempted to divide the flour for themselves, Baba became genuinely angry, scolding them harshly and ordering them to dispose of the flour, which left them feeling humiliated.
