The source mentions patience. How does the story of grinding wheat illustrate the importance of having patience when interpreting Baba's actions?

📖 Chapter 1

The wheat grinding incident serves as a powerful example of why patience is necessary to understand Sai Baba's actions. Initially, no one, including the narrator, could comprehend why a possessionless fakir would be grinding wheat. The women who helped him impatiently and greedily assumed a selfish motive. Their lack of patience led to their humiliation. Chapter 1 explicitly states, "If one has patience, Baba’s unique wonder bears fruit in the end." Only later was the true purpose revealed: Baba was grinding the cholera epidemic, not wheat, to save the village. This demonstrates that Baba's plays are profound, and their true, beneficial nature is only revealed to those who wait with faith rather than jumping to conclusions.
