The text describes Baba assuming a terrifying 'Narasimha avatar' and shouting in rage. How can this frightening display be interpreted as an act of compassion or healing?

📖 Chapter 13

The incident in Chapter 13 where Baba reacts furiously to the sound of a pickaxe is a profound example of his inscrutable methods. While his terrifying anger, described as a 'Narasimha avatar,' caused devotees to flee in fear, it was the direct precursor to a healing miracle. The entire dramatic episode culminated in him focusing on Kaka, who was suffering from diarrhea. Baba made Kaka eat roasted peanuts and drink water, then authoritatively declared his ailment cured. This narrative from Chapter 13 suggests that Baba's most intense and seemingly negative displays could be a guise for his profound compassion, a dramatic means to orchestrate a specific act of grace and healing for a devotee in need.
