What happened when the village women tried to take the flour Baba had ground, and what lesson can be learned from their experience?

πŸ“– Chapter 1

After the women helped Sai Baba grind the wheat, their minds became 'greedy to loot Baba,' as stated in Chapter 1. They filled the flour into a fan and began dividing it into four parts for themselves. At this point, Baba, who had been silent, became angry and scolded them harshly. He asked if they thought they were taking their father's property and accused them of coming to get something for free. He then commanded them to throw all the flour on the village boundary. The women were 'very upset' and felt 'humiliated because of their greed.' This incident, described in Chapter 1, serves as a lesson about the folly of greed and making assumptions about a Sadguru's actions. It highlights the importance of patience, as their greed prevented them from understanding the true, compassionate purpose behind Baba's act.
