How did Sai Baba resolve the conflict between Anna and Mavshibai, and what was the immediate result?

Sai Baba resolved the growing quarrel between Anna and Mavshibai by using a clever and loving trick rather than scolding them. As Chapter 24 recounts, Baba planned a powerful way to cool them down. He lovingly said to Anna, "Oh Anna, why have you started this uproar? I don't understand what is improper in taking a kiss from the Mother." This unexpected and humorous reframing of the situation immediately pacified both devotees. The source notes that upon hearing this, the humorous talk vanished, a 'sprout of loving laughter broke out,' and the joke was enjoyed by all, effectively turning a moment of anger into one of shared joy.
