How did Sai Baba resolve the conflict between Damu Anna and Mavshibai?

Sai Baba resolved the conflict with his characteristic wisdom and humor. Initially, he watched the quarrel grow without intervening. However, as Chapter 24 explains, when the argument became heated, Baba planned a 'powerful trick' to cool them down. He lovingly and playfully sided with Mavshibai, saying 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 statement immediately defused the tension, causing both Anna and Mavshibai to be pacified. The anger vanished and was replaced by loving laughter, enjoyed by all who were there.
