Baba's reaction in the second incident was a stark contrast to his humorous handling of the quarrel. As narrated in Chapter 24, on another occasion, a great devotee felt pity and worry upon seeing the "excess" of the stomach pressing. This devotee intervened, telling the lady to have mercy lest Baba's veins break. Upon hearing this criticism of the service, Baba's mood changed dramatically. He did not react with humor but with a "terrible rage." He quickly rose, grabbed his Satka (short stick), struck the ground with it, and his eyes began "glowing like charcoal embers" as he scanned the room. This demonstrates that Baba's response was always dependent on the specific context and the underlying emotions of those involved.
The text mentions another incident where a devotee objected to the way Baba was being massaged. How did Baba's reaction in that case differ from his reaction to Anna's quarrel?
