What happened to the women who helped Baba grind the wheat, and what lesson did their interaction teach about greed?

📖 Chapter 1

The story in Chapter 1 recounts how four women eagerly helped Baba grind wheat, but their minds soon filled with greed. They speculated that since Baba had no family and lived on alms, he would surely give the flour to them, and they were already mentally dividing it. When they finished and tried to take the flour, Baba became angry, asking if they were taking their 'father's property' and accusing them of coming to 'loot' him. He then ordered them to throw the flour on the village boundary. As Chapter 1 states, the women were very upset and felt humiliated because of their greed, providing a stark lesson on the consequences of selfish desires when faced with divine play.
