The story of the grinding wheat is a perfect illustration of the rewards of patience. Initially, as Chapter 1 explains, no one understood Baba's actions. The women who helped grind the wheat acted impatiently and with greed, attempting to take the flour, which resulted in their public humiliation. In contrast, those who waited patiently eventually understood the profound reason for the act. It was revealed that Baba wasn't grinding wheat for food but was symbolically destroying a cholera epidemic to save the village. The text explicitly states, "If one has patience, Baba’s unique wonder bears fruit in the end," highlighting that understanding Baba's divine plays requires faith and waiting for the true purpose to unfold.
