The text mentions that Baba's actions can be confusing. How does the wheat grinding story show why patience is needed to understand his 'unique wonder'?

📖 Chapter 1

The wheat grinding incident from Chapter 1 serves as a powerful illustration of the need for patience in understanding Sai Baba's divine plays. Initially, everyone, including the narrator, was filled with wonder and confusion. They could not understand why a detached saint would suddenly start grinding wheat. The women who helped him mistakenly believed it was for a mundane purpose and greedily tried to take the flour, leading to their humiliation. As Chapter 1 states, "No one understood Baba’s beginning; the reason was not apparent at first." However, the text explicitly adds, "If one has patience, Baba’s unique wonder bears fruit in the end." This proved true when it was later revealed that Baba was not grinding wheat but the cholera epidemic, a profound act of compassion whose true purpose was only understood after the fact.
