How did the women in the village react to Baba grinding wheat, and what lesson did they learn from the incident?

As described in Chapter 1, when news spread that Baba was grinding wheat, four women ran to the mosque and, in their eagerness, snatched the grinding handle from him to help. While grinding, they sang his praises but also secretly harbored greedy thoughts, speculating that Baba would give the flour to them since he lived on alms and had no family. They were, as the text says, 'building castles in the air.' Their greed was met with a harsh lesson when Baba, seeing them preparing to divide the flour, angrily chastised them and ordered them to throw it on the village boundary. The women felt very upset and humiliated by this public rebuke of their greedy intentions.
