How did Sai Baba resolve the quarrel that broke out between Anna and Mavshibai?

As Chapter 24 recounts, Sai Baba observed the growing quarrel between Anna and Mavshibai and devised a clever, humorous trick to pacify them both. Instead of taking sides seriously, Baba 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 unexpected and witty response immediately defused the tension. The humorous talk vanished, and a 'sprout of loving laughter broke out,' resolving the conflict and allowing the joke to be enjoyed by everyone present.
