I read about a time when someone criticized a devotee for being too rough while massaging Baba. How did Baba react to this criticism?

📖 Chapter 24

The source material in Chapter 24 describes an incident where a devotee criticized a lady for pressing Baba's stomach with what he perceived as excessive force. The devotee told the lady to have mercy and compassion, fearing that Baba's veins might break. Baba's reaction to this unsolicited concern was swift and severe. As soon as he heard the words, Baba quickly rose, took his Satka (a short stick), and struck the ground with it. His mood transformed into a "terrible rage," with his eyes glowing like charcoal embers as he scanned the room. This powerful and angry response demonstrated that he did not appreciate others interfering with or judging the way a devotee expressed their love and service, no matter how unconventional it appeared.
