The story of the wheat grinding mentions that patience is needed to understand Baba's wonders. How does this contrast with the women's greed?

Chapter 1 draws a sharp contrast between the necessity of patience and the pitfalls of greed. The narrator explicitly states, "If one has patience, Baba’s unique wonder bears fruit in the end," highlighting that the true, benevolent purpose of Baba's actions was not immediately obvious. Understanding required waiting and faith. In contrast, the women who helped with the grinding quickly succumbed to greed. Their minds were "greedy to loot Baba," and they were "building castles in the air" about how they would divide the flour. Their impatience and desire for immediate, material gain led to Baba scolding them and their subsequent humiliation. This illustrates that while patience reveals divine purpose, greed obscures it and leads to shame.
