The Satcharitra itself provides guidance on this very issue in Chapter 1, using the wheat-grinding incident as an example. Initially, no one, including the narrator, understood why Baba was grinding wheat. The text explicitly states, "No one understood Baba’s beginning; the reason was not apparent at first." It then offers a key piece of advice: "If one has patience, Baba’s unique wonder bears fruit in the end." This suggests that understanding Baba's divine plays requires faith and patience. The true, benevolent purpose—in this case, ending the cholera epidemic—is often revealed later, rewarding those who wait and trust.
Sometimes Baba's actions in the stories are confusing. What does the Satcharitra say about how to approach his mysterious behavior?
