What happened when the women tried to take the flour Baba ground, and what lesson can be learned from their interaction with him?

📖 Chapter 1

When the women finished grinding the wheat, their minds became greedy, and they speculated that Baba would give the flour to them. As detailed in Chapter 1, they began to divide the flour into four parts for themselves. At this point, Baba, who had been silent, became angry. He scolded them, asking, 'Have you gone mad? Where are you taking it? Taking your father's property?' He accused them of coming to 'loot' him and ordered them to throw the flour on the village boundary. The women were humiliated by their greed but obeyed. This incident, as described in Chapter 1, teaches a lesson about patience and greed. The women's greedy thoughts were rebuked, while the true, compassionate purpose of Baba's actions was only revealed to those who had patience.
