The text suggests the conflict between Anna and Mavshibai holds a deeper moral. What is the underlying lesson of their story?

The quarrel between Anna and Mavshibai serves as a lesson on the nature of pure love and the tendency toward anger. As Chapter 24 explains, though the story seems small, its sweetness is for discerning listeners. The underlying moral is that if a pure, loving intellect, like the love between a mother and son, had existed between them, the quarrel would never have happened. The tendency for anger arises when this pure form of love is absent. Sai Baba's humorous intervention not only resolved the immediate conflict but also subtly guided them and the observers toward this higher understanding of selfless, anger-free devotion.
