How does the story of grinding wheat illustrate the mysterious nature of cause and effect in Sai Baba's divine plays?

The incident of grinding wheat exemplifies the inconceivable connection between cause and effect in Sai Baba's actions. As narrated in Chapter 1, the initial act seemed disconnected from any logical purpose for a saint living on alms. The narrator expresses this confusion, wondering, 'What is the relation between wheat and disease?' The true effect was only revealed later: the wheat symbolized the cholera epidemic, and grinding it and disposing of the flour at the village boundary was the cause of the epidemic's retreat. Chapter 1 highlights that this mysterious causality is a hallmark of Baba's plays, where the reason is not apparent at first. It underscores that with patience, 'Baba’s unique wonder bears fruit in the end,' even when the relationship between his action and its outcome defies conventional understanding.
