How did Sai Baba intervene to resolve the dispute between Anna and Mavshibai?

Sai Baba initially watched the conflict between Anna and Mavshibai grow, a common pattern where he would allow devotees' anger to surface before reconciling them. According to Chapter 24, once the quarrel had grown, Baba planned a "powerful trick" to cool them down. He lovingly addressed Anna, saying, "Oh Anna, why have you started this uproar? I don't understand what is improper in taking a kiss from the Mother." This humorous and unexpected remark instantly pacified both of them, dissolved the tension, and caused a sprout of loving laughter, demonstrating Baba's skillful way of handling his devotees' conflicts.
