The text says 'If one has patience, Baba’s unique wonder bears fruit in the end.' How does the story of the cholera epidemic and the wheat flour illustrate this teaching?

📖 Chapter 1

This teaching is perfectly illustrated by the wheat grinding event in Chapter 1. Initially, no one understood Baba's actions. His grinding of wheat seemed pointless for a man who lived on alms, and his subsequent anger at the women who wanted the flour was confusing. However, for those who waited patiently instead of jumping to greedy conclusions, the true, wonderful purpose was revealed. The people later learned that Baba wasn't grinding wheat, but the cholera epidemic itself, thereby saving the village. This shows that the 'fruit' of his seemingly strange actions was the village's well-being, a wonder that could only be understood and appreciated with the patience to see beyond the immediate, apparent situation.
