How does the story of Baba grinding wheat show that his actions required patience to be understood?

The incident of Baba grinding wheat is a prime example of why patience was necessary to comprehend his divine plays. As described in Chapter 1, his actions were initially baffling to everyone. No one had the courage to ask why a detached fakir was grinding wheat. The women who helped him completely misunderstood his motive, assuming it was for their material gain. It was only later, after Baba had them throw the flour on the village boundary, that the true purpose was revealed: he had ground up and cast out a cholera epidemic. The text explicitly notes, "If one has patience, Baba’s unique wonder bears fruit in the end," highlighting that the profound, beneficial outcomes of his seemingly strange actions were only apparent over time.
